JANUARY, 1912 WILLIAM TAGGAED PIPER

By Clarence Walter Atee, A.M., of Cambridge, Mass.

William Taggard Piper, public-spirited citizen, organizer and patron of charities, man of affairs, and scholar, was born in Boston August 9, 1853, and died there, at the Massachusetts Homoiopathic Hospital, victim of an epidemic of tonsillitis, July 25, 1911. He was the son of Solomon Piper, ^ whose ancestors in direct line back were Solomon,* Joseph,^ Jonathan,^ and Nathaniel,' all of unusual length of life ; and of Mary Elizabeth Taggard, his wife, whose father was William Taggard, whose mother was Mary Trow Welch, and whose ancestry goes back to early Colonial times.

During boyhood Mr. Piper was educated in the public schools of his native city, receiving a Franklin medal at the Quincy school in 1866, and another at the Latin school in 1870. In that year, at the age of sixteen, he entered Harvard College, and took his degree of A. B. in 1874, with distinction in scholarship which made him a member of the Phi Beta Kappa society. For the next four years he was engaged in study and travel abroad, the first two at Trinity College, Cambridge, England, and the third and fourth in Germany, chiefly at the University of Leipzig, and other parts of the continent. Returning to Cambridge in 1878, he resumed his studies at Harvard, taking his degree of A.M. in 1881, and his final degree of Ph.D. and A.M. in 1883, his subject being classical philology.

Even in the midst of the studies for his higher degrees he had married, on July 10, 1879, at Yellow Springs, Ohio, Anne Palfrey Bridge, of Lexington, whose father was William Frederick Bridge, whose mother was Elizabeth Gould Crosby, and whose ancestral line can be traced back to Elder William Brewster. To them were born, in Cambridge, four children, all now living: William Bridge, Nov. 21, 1880 (A.B., Harvard, 1903, M.F., Yale, 1905) ; Eliza- beth Bridge, Sept. 19, 1883 (A.B., Radcliffe, 1906, A.M., same, 1911) ; Anne Taggard, Sept. 26, 1887 (wife of Matthew Hale, A.B., Harvard, 1903) ; and Ralph Crosby, Aug. 29, 1890 (A.B., Harvard, 1911, three years' course).

Solidly equipped in scholarship and mental acquirements as his Harvard dcorces vouchsafed, and possessed of independent means and ample leisure, Mr. Piper might naturally have continued to live the academic life of a college community, pursuing special investi- gations and otherwise gratifying his scholarly tastes at w^ill, or he mio-ht have sought a regular position- in college work as instructor in classics. At this critical juncture, however, he seems to have abandoned, if indeed he had ever seriously entertained, a scholarly cai'eer and to have chosen, or to have been led to give his life, with the entire force of his strong and vigorous personality, to the service of the many and varied interests of Cambridge. From 1870 his family had resided in that city, first at 22 Concord Avenue, and next and last at 179 Brattle Street, corner of Fayerweather Street, where in 1885 he had built for himself and growing family a spacious and attractive home. His readiness to serve and his ability to act met with a quick and cordial response on the part of his fellow- citizens. The number of organizations, municipal, social, philan- thropic, historical, and other, of which he became a member during the decade following the com2)letion of his studies at Harvard in 1883, and the administrative ability, untiring energy, devotion, and self-sacrifice which he showed in his service for each and every one of these organizations, form a unique record in the social life of Cambridge.

From that time onward it was the interests humanitarian, and not the humanities, that absorbed his main time and thought, and his freedom from the exactions of a regular business career or j)rofession gave him ample scope for his work for others, and seemed, by a sort of reflex action, to spur him on to the utmost length in the execu- tion of each self-imposed task. No detail, however trivial and in- significant in itself, would be neglected or overlooked by him, if, in his opinion, the matter in hand needed its consideration. Indeed, his attention to details, his capacity for taking pains, and his keen- ness of vision and judgment in matters small as well as large, are conspicuous traits of his mind and character.

It was these traits, to be sure, combined with his unswerving fear- lessness and rigid determination to stand for what he thought was right and best in each emergency as it arose, that at times brought him opposition and caused misunderstanding of his motives. This is not surprising, for it is the lot of leaders of men to be misunder- stood now and then, if not often, and it was due to another quality of mind which he possessed, and which is not always coupled with his recognized administrative ability, namely tactfulness and con- sideration of the point of view of the other man, that his course in the conduct of important plans and measures to which objections may have been raised was made smooth and his purpose gained.

The year of 1883 that brought an end to Mr. Piper's academic career saw the beginning, at the age of thirty, of that splendid

1912] William Taggard Piper 5

service, public and semi-public, which absorbed his adult life for its last twenty-eight years. He appeared first as an organizer and member of the Associated Charities of Cambridge, being secretary from 1883 to 1889, director from 1889 to 1899, vice-president from 1899 to 1902, and hononary vice-president from that time to his death. In the next year, 1884, his ability, dignity, and tactfulness as a presiding officer received first recognition as president and director of the Cambridge Social Union for two years, of which he later, in 1896, became, and remained to the end, a trustee of the Permanent Fund. In the same year of 1884 he was chosen a member of the Parish Committee of the Fu^st Parish Church, on which he served until 1891, and yearly thereafter he was re-elected chairman of the annual Parish meetings, with further service on various committees of the church.

In 1886 Mr. Piper took upon himself another responsibility, which developed into one of his most devoted services, as trustee of the Avon Home for Children, becoming in 1888 its vice-president, and from 1892 its president. Whether or not the nearness of this institution to his home later had additional influence, it is to be noticed that this charity received from him more attention than any other. As chairman of its Building Committee, in 1891—2, he was foremost in preparing plans for the erection of the new building at 309 Mt. Auburn Street, and was interested in following every step of its progress. For this work he solicited a large portion of the funds ; for the institution he showed a parental care throughout ; and in his will he gave to it $5,000, the larger of his two public bequests, primarily to help carry out his project of adding a depart- ment for an Infants' Hospital, which is still under consideration. With characteristic enthusiasm and thoroughness he visited, last spring, a number of similar hospitals in and about Boston, in order that advantage might be taken of every new device and practice which the best equipment might require. He has left the institu- tion in such perfect condition and in such excellent hands that his successors in its management vnll be under great and lasting obli- gations to his pioneer service.

All these kinds of service were semi-public. In 1888 Mr. Piper entered upon an active municipal career, which continued, in vari- ous forms, almost to the end of his life. In that year he was elected to the Common Council, on which he served two years ; and in 1890 he took hio-her office as member of the Board of Aldermen. To all this municipal service he gave of himself just as freely and con- scientiously as he had already done in all his earlier responsibilities. In 1891 he became, and continued to his death, a member of the local board of Civil Service Examiners.

In 1891, also, began his largest public service as member of the School Committee. Recognition of his executive ability and fitness, by that time well proved in several fields of activity, brought his

6 William Taggar-d Piper [Jan.

elevation to the presidency of the School Board in 1892, which he retained until his retirement from that service in 1909. A Ml and just estimation of these devoted years of labor for the public schools is voiced in the following excerpt from an editorial in the Cambridge Tribune of July 29, 1911 :

" For some sixteen years the president of the board, he exhibited in that capacity those traits which so signally marked his career and indicated him as the accomplished, courteous and fully equipped leader among men. Durino- all that long 23eriod, it never occurred to the board to suggest any other name for its president or to demur on the decisions which it was his province to make. Few ijeople in the community have a conscious knowl- edo-e of the management of school aifairs ; but those who are cognizant of the work of the schools fully appreciate the conscientious, skilled and superb work rendered gratuitously all these years by Mr. Piper. Had he been credited with this work alone, the people of Cambridge would be under a vast and an enduring obligation to him."

The complete story of Mr. Piper's educational, as well as of his philanthropic service can never be told, and it is characteristic of tlie persistent benevolence and kindheartedness of the man that he should keep in touch with the later life of the older teachers, and that for some of those whose needs had become pressing he should, with great tact and consideration, make adequate provision.

It must be borne in mind, however, that, although Mr. Piper's relations with the school teachers were always just and impartial, yet at times his rigid and unbending sense of justice and responsi- bility, especially in financial matters, led him to make decisions which would seem, from a broader point of view, to have been in- considerate and undeserved. Among the many, however, these were very few. In his determination to give a fair judgment of the fit- ness and ability of teachers, whether for re-appointment or to fill vacancies, he would make it a rule to give a teacher a second chance, if a first judgment had happened for any special reason to be un- favorable. Such determination would mean increase of labor on his part in each instance, but that for him was characteristically no deterrent. Indeed it came naturally to be thought and said that wherever there was something extra to do, and when there was no one else who could or Avould do it, Mr. Piper would detail himself for the task, no matter at what cost of time or effort. Thus it was that his personal visits to the actual fields of work of candidates for vacancies, whether teachers, superintendents of schools, or librari- ans, brought to examining committees in each instance additional information in aid of their final choice.

By a special provision of the City charter one member of the board of trustees of the Public Library must be chosen from the School committee. In that dual capacity Mr. Piper served from 1892 onward, being annually re-appointed, except for the year 1903. Throughout his long service of nearly seventeen years, the third longest in the history of the Library, he came to know

1912] William Taggard Piper 7

and to appreciate the institution in every detail of its work, and he was keenly interested in every step of its development. He took office first as secretary in 1894 and 1895, next as president from 1896 to 1902, and last as treasurer on from 1904. In each capaci- ty he sought to advance the best interests of the Library, sparing neither time nor effort to that end.

In the writer's position as librarian of this Library since 1904, he came to know well certain aspects of Mr. Piper's character and personality. To his work for the Library Mr. Piper gave more time, thought, and energy than any other trustee. Thoroughly congenial to one of his scholarly tastes, his duties as trustee, espe- cially as chairman of the committee on books, became genuine pleasures. As elsewhere and always, he was in close touch with all details of administration and service, and much of this matter he had at call, with or without the aid of an omnipresent note-book, which he kept by him for emergencies which might arise in any of his manifold interests. Generally twice a week, and some weeks oftener, he would come to the Library, nearly always bringing back a parcel of books just read, and again taking out a new selection for himself and his family. Occasionally he would stop off" on his way back from Boston, with the latest information about certain new books which he had just seen there, and which the Library might not yet have received, or had not been able to buy, and thereupon would generally ensue eager discussions of books new and old, comments on current events, and random talks on any other topic, related or, as often, unrelated. As the weeks and years went by, the writer came more and more to look forward to these visits of Mr. Piper, and to count them among the rare pleasures of his library experi- ence.

Mr. Piper's active interest in libraries dates much farther back, to 1878, when he became a proprietor in the Boston Athenaeum, of which thereafter he was a constant user and patron. Much later, and onward from 1894, he was a member of the Massachusetts Library Club, always planning to attend the winter meeting, which was generally held in Boston.

Correlated to these libraries were three learned societies, each with its own special library, two of which Mr. Piper joined in the early nineties. With the first of these, the New England Historic Genealogical Society, he had longest and most intimate connection, from 1892 onward, becoming in 1899 a life member, and serving on a varied succession of its committees : first as councillor, 1898- 1900 ; next as member of the Committee on Papers and Essays, the Nominating Committee, and the Committee to Print Proceedings of the Annual Meeting, all in 1900 ; member of the Committee on the Library, 1903; again Councillor, 1904-1907; member of the Committee on Finance, 1905-1906 ; and last as member of the Committee on Keal Estate, 1910. To all this service Mr. Piper

8 William Taggard Piper [Jan.

gave unsparingly of his time and energy, no doubt the more eagerly because it brought variety to his many responsibilities. Likewise Ava:^ added, from 1894 on, membership and keen enjoyment in The Colonial Society of ^Massachusetts. Last of this tjrpe came member- ship in the Cambridge Historical Society from 1905, its first year, to 1910, when he resigned.

Among business interests JNIr. Piper's chief connection vv^as with the Cambridge Trust Company of which, from 1892 on, he became an active, intluential, and public-spirited director, but in which he held no other office.

All these varied interests of Mr. Piper's, public, semi-public, and other, as above described, were obviously serious in intent and ex- acting in their demands upon his time, thought, and energy. Three other organizations with which he became permanently identified were mainly social and recreative in character, and of these he availed himself in good measure. Midway in this respect stands his membership in the Cambridge Club, which began in 1892, and of which he became a director in 1905, vice-president in 1906, and president in 1907. He joined the Union Club, of Boston, in 1894, and the Oakley Country Club, of Belmont, in 1898, of the latter havino; been one of the original members.

With increase of years came increase of responsibilities. When, in 1910, there was formally organized of a board of trustees, in con- nection with the erection of a new building; for the Yovmff Women's Christian Association, of Cambridge, Mr. Piper was elected its chair- man, having already been, since 1898, an auxiliary member of the in- stitution. In his benevolent and philanthropic service he had already gone farther afield and out of the bounds of Cambridge, by accept- ing, in 1899, a trusteeship of the Boston Homoeopathic Hospital, which culminated, early last year, in his election as president of its board. Shortly before, in 1910, he had received from Governor Draper an appointment, wholly unsought, as trustee of the Boston State Hospital. By these appointments was shovm a wider recog- nition of Mr. Piper's long and valuable experience in connection with institutions of a similar kind. In the light of such develop- ment it is not too much to predict that, had his life been spared, he would have entered upon still another and a larger career of service to the State, and perhaps eventually to the nation.

With all his mental acquirements and scholarship on the one hand, and his active service for the public good on the other, it Avould seem as if Mr. Piper had shown no wish or inclination to write of his own experiences or investigations. In fact, he has left no written or published matter, except such as might be contained in annual and special reports for the schools, the public library, the Avon Home, and other institutions, but these were models of their kind for brevity, conciseness, and force.

A life like Mr. Piper's, of such extraordinary energy and accom-

1912] William Taggard Piper 9

plishment in behalf of others, and of such marked concentration and strength of purpose, would seem to have been singularly resom'ceful and self-sufficient. And yet it is fitting here to record that Mr, Piper owed much of his incentive to public service and his persist- ency of action to the encouragement and example of his devoted wife, Anne Palfrey Piper. Back in the eighties, soon after their marriage in 1879, Mrs. Piper joined heartily with her husband in all the beginnings of their charitable and benevolent work, and throughout their lives, the wife dying of the same disease as the husband only two months before, there was a perfect sympathy and oneness of purpose, born of mutual love and devotion, which mad^ light of the many burdens and responsibilities which they had vol- untarily taken upon themselves to bear for the benefit of others.

The mainspring of action, back of all else, was a beautiful and self-centred home life, which remained to the end unchanged in the mutual appreciation and helpfulness of husband and wife. To their Cambridge home there was added a summer home in Falmouth, called " The Uplands," which they built in 1892. Together they helped to organize, in 1904, the Cambridge District Nursing Asso- ciation, of which Mrs. Piper became president, and to which Mr. Piper left $1,000, the smaller of two modest public bequests, the larger being mentioned above. In other charitable works they also co-operated, and their associated support was as charming and help- fiil as it was unusual.

Of tributes to Mr. Piper's character and personality the latest and most appreciative expression was given at a meeting of the Cam- bridge Club at Young's, on November 20, 1911, in a sketch* written and there read by one of its members, William M. Richardson, Esq., from which the following paragraph is quoted :

" No one could be brought into contact with him, whether socially, offi- cially, or in business matters, without being impressed with his fairness, justice, candor and fearlessness. He was modest, retiring even to shyness, slow in forming convictions, free from prejudices, charitable towards all, benevolent in giving and in acts, interested in all attempts to better society aud individuals, expecting no reward and receiving none, except the con- sciousness of the well intentioned performance of duty."

A just estimate of the character and personality of Mr. Piper must take also into consideration a combination of apparently opposite traits. Side by side with his manifest sympathy and broadmindedness in dealing with institutions and their work, may be noted a certain reserve and aloofness of manner in dealing with individuals. This latter trait, as being shown in much the same way towards all whom he met, must be thought, for the most part, innate and unconscious in its operation ; and yet it is this trait which at times led to a mis- conception of his character as a whole, and which also interfered

with his personal popularity. Of intimate friends he had very few, and the successes of his remarkable public career were won rather by his sterling qualities of mind and heart, by sheer force of character and circumstance, than by the slightest appeal to any of the ingra- tiations of the politician. An aristocrat in thought and feeling for himself, alone considered, he was a democrat in his interest and con- cern for others. His home, like the Englishman's, was his castle, and to it no stranger from the outside world was welcome ; and yet to that larger world beyond the pale of his home, he gave of his best, in act and substance, and that, too, a form of giving which was rather the devotion and sacrifice of himself than merely the turn- ing over of money which by some might have been easily gotten, and which might accordingly have meant no real sacrifice whatever. His was indeed a noble stewardship of wealth, and in his death the community has suffered an irreparable loss.

During the hour of the funeral, which took place on the after- noon of Friday, July 28th, the Public Library and its branches were closed by order of the trustees, as contained in the " Resolu- tions " befitting liis memory and Library service which had been by them adopted and spread on the records.

1912] Dutch Johnsons hi Connecticut 15

DUTCH JOHNSONS IN CONNECTICUT

By Donald Lines Jacobus, M.A., of New Haven, Conn.

Among the numerous Johnson families of old Connecticut we have reason to suppose that two, at least, were of Dutch origin. There has been much speculation concerning the antecedents of William Johnson of New Haven and Wallingford, Conn., whose family is given in the Reg- ister, vol. 55, p. 369. Mr. James Shepard surmises that he might have been a son of Thomas Johnson, one of the three brothers from Yorkshire, Eng., who was drowned in New Haven harbor in 1640 (Register, vol. 56, p. 133). This poor Thomas has been of inestimable value to the gene- alogists, who have bestowed on him as offspring a large number of stray- Johnsons. In strict fact, he left two sons, Thomas of Newark, N. J., and Jeremiah of Derby, Conn. (New Haven Proprietors' Records, vol. 2, pp. 329-330) ; and there is not a shadow of evidence to prove that William was his son.

Then, who was William Johnson? Perhaps the following facts will throw some light on the question. The death of a certain " Old Richard " Johnson is recorded in New Haven on 25 March 1679. His estate was administered 1 April 1679, when we find him called, not Richard, but " Dericke " Johnson (Probate Records, vol. 1, p. 182), and after the pay- ment of debts, the court granted the remainder of his estate to William Johnson (County Court Records, vol. 1, p. 115 ; and Deeds, vol. 1, p. 73). No mention is made of the relationship between them, but it is evident that they were not father and son. If, however, we remember that Richard is called Derrick, and that William himself frequently appears on record as Wingle, it is j^retty safe to assume that they were of Dutch descent, and very likely stood in the relation of uncle and nephew to each other.

Much more perplexing is the origin of Walter Johnson of Wallingford, Conn., whose immediate family has been carefully compiled by Mr. James Shepard and published in the Register, vol. b^, p. 139. Up to the present time nothing has been known concerning him, except that he ap- peared in Wallingford before 1692, married a nameless daughter of Nehemiah and Hannah (Morgan) Royce, and died in 1731, leaviug two sons, John and Lambert. The following record from the Dutch church of Flatbush, L. I., adds considerably to our meagre information: "1689, July 5. Wouter Jansen widv. of Johana Rys of N. Eng. at Walliuford, to Tryntie Henerig, wid. of Wm. Edwards, liv. Pennu (?)." Two facts are made clear by this record of our Walter Johnson's second marriage. In the first place it discloses the full name of his first wife, Joanna Royce. In the second place, taken in connection with his signing his name Janson in Wallingford deeds, it indicates Dutch blood. Moreover, it leads to the surmise that John was Walter's only child by the Royce alliance, and that Lambert was the offspring of this second marriage. At any rate, John is named in his grandfather Royce's will, while Lambert is not ; and John deeds away Royce land, while Lambert does not. Moreover, late in life, Walter Johnson deeds a piece of land to his son Lambert, in consideration of which the latter is to maintain his father and mother for the rest of their lives. It looks very much as if this widow Tryntie was Lambert's mother.

Yet, interesting as these discoveries are, they do not go very far toward lifting the veil that obscures the early life of Walter Johnson. The prob-

16 Dutch Johnsons in Connecticut [Jan.

lem is made more complex by a power of attorney (Wallingford Deeds, vol. 5, p. 454), granted in 1728 by John Benham of Kings Co., N. Y., Lambert Johnson and wife Anna of Richmond, N.Y., Jacob Johnson and wife vSara of Richmond, and Evert Van Namen and wife Winefrut. John, Anna, Sarah, and Winifred were four of the children of Joseph Benham of Wallinoford by his wife Winifred King of Boston. Lambert and Jacob Johnson and Evert Van Namen, husbands of the three Benham girls, lived on Staten Island, where they belonged to the Dutch Reformed Church. This document is surprising, as it proves that two Dutch Johnsons, of the same generation as Walter, married Wallingford girls ; and one of them bore the name of Lambert, which was also the name of one of Walter's sons, A natural supposition is that they were brothers of his, and met the Benham girls while visiting his home.

As is well known, the Dutch rarely bore a jDermanent surname, but went- by a patronymic derived from the father's Christian name. Thus, Lambert Johnson and Jacob Johnson were simply Lambert and Jacob, sons of John or Jan ; but before 1700 the Dutch in America had begun to retain the father's patronymic after the English fashion, so it need not surprise us to find in the Staten Island records that Lambert and Jacob Johnson were sometimes known as Lambert and Jacob Wouters. This implies that they were sons of a certain Jan Wouters (John son of Walter), and that they sometimes retained the Wouters and sometimes called them- selves Jansen after their father's Christian name. This makes it all the more likely that Walter Johnson was their brother, for, as the son of Jan Wouters, he would be named after his grandfather Walter or Wouter.

Consequently, it is necessary to locate a Jan Wouters who could have been father of Walter, Lambert, and Jacob. And what is our amazement to learn that Jacob Johnson, son of John Wooters, was born in Branford, Conn., 31 December 1672 (Branford Records, vol. 1, p. 174). Here is a Dutch Jacob Johnson who, learning the English tongue in his infancy, would be most eligible to marry an English girl. That he is identical with the Jacob of Staten Island is proved by the father's name ; and his wife, Sarah Benham, was born four years later, 6 September 1676. According to Savage, Jan Wouters lived at Branford fi'om 1667 to 1673 ; and, when we come to search for his antecedents we find that in 1667 he owned salt meadows in Flatbush, L. I., the very place where Walter Johnson, un- doubtedly his son, married his second wife. From Branford he returned to Flatbush, where in 1678 he hired out his son Ruth (Rutgert) to his brother-in-law Laurens Jurianse. He was living in 1695, when he calls himself of New York.

Jan Wouters is by no means an uncommon name, and it will therefore require some evidence to prove that our man of that name, who was a master-shoemaker by trade, was identical with Jan Wouters Van der Bosch, whose name appears in the Flatbush Church Records of this period. On 12 May 1678 were baptized Jacobus, aged 5|, Judith, aged 2f, and Jan, aged"l^, children of Jan Wouters Van der Bosch and Weintie Peters, who came from Stanford, New England. It is probable that the original record reads " Branford," and that " Stanford " is an error of the copyist who prepared these records for the press ; for a limited search in Stamford, Conn., ])as failed to reveal the presence there of any Jan Wouters or Van der Bosches. Moreover, the age of Jacobus (the Latinized form of Jacob or James) exactly corresponds with the age of Jacob Johnson, son of Jan Wouters, who was born at Branford in December 1672. On the whole.

1912] Dutch Johnsons iti Connecticut 17

it is extremely improbable that two Jan Wouters, one at Branford and the other at Stamford, each had a son Jacob born in the same month of the same year. Another proof of identity is the fact that Jan Wouters Van der Bosch married Weintie Peters, whUe Laurens Jurianse Haf married Kenira Peters ; and we have already mentioned that Laurens Jurianse was brother-in-law of our Jan Wouters.

With these facts established, it is possible to sketch the earlier genera- tions of Walter Johnson's family.

1. Jan^ Wouters Van der Bosch, son of Wouter Van der Bosch, born about 1638, resided at Flatbush, L. I., and Branford, Conn., and died after 1695. He married first Arentje Arents ; and secondly Weintie Peters, whose sister Kenira Peters married, 5 July 1676, Laurens Jurianse Haf. The Peters family came from Amersfoort.

Communicated by Matt Bushnell Joxes, LL.B., of the Committee on Collection of

Itecords

United States Frigate Chesapeahe, Jan. IJf., 18 IS?' Sir,

We this morning fell in with another of the Brazil convoy, the brig Liverpool Hero, of Liverpool. As she did not appear to be of sufficient consequence to man, I have taken from her the most valuable articles she had on board, and we are now employed in scuttling her.

There is another of them in sight, and I am in hopes we shall have her in the morning.

Respectfully, I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant,

Hon. Paul Hamilton, Secretary of the Navy.

A letter '' of the same date " at Sea " was forwarded " by the British ship Volunteer, which was captured this morning on her passage to the Brazils. She is one of a large convoy that sailed from Cork on the 19th ult. for the West Indies and South America ; she parted with the West India convoy on the 3d instant, off Madeira, and on the 7th she parted with the Cherub

SOME DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM SCALES OF EOWLEY, MASS., 1640

Edited by John Scales, A.M., of Dover, N. H.

1. William^ Scales, immigrant ancestor of the Scales family in New England, was born about 1612. The place of his birth is not known, though according to tradition he was born in London, and his parents may have been William and Margaret (Greene) Scales (she the daughter of Robert Greene), mentioned in the will of " Dame Bennett, widow of Sir William Webb, sometime alderman and mayor of London," dated 14 Jan. 1602, Avith a codicil bearing date of 30 June 1604, proved 9 July 1604, which makes numerous bequests, one of them being "to Unci Robert Greene and William Scales his son-in-law, and to cousin Margaret, wife of William Scales " (Register, vol. 48, p. 393).

He was one of the parishioners of Rev. Ezekiel Rogers, pastor of the church at Rowley, near Hull, England, came with his wife Ann to New England with that party which organized the settlement at Rowley, Mass., in 1639, and 13 May 1640 was made freeman with the rest of Mr. Rogers's party (Register, vol. 3, p. 187). In Rowley he had an acre and a half

1912] Descendants of William Scales 43

of land in Wliethersfield Street, on which he built his house and resided until his death. He received several grants of land, and was largely en- gaged in the lumber business, farming and stock raising. He was a staunch supporter of Parson Rogers, and prominent in town affairs. The record of his and his wife's deaths is as follows : " William Scales buryed July ye tenth day, anno : 1682 ; " " Ann, widow of William Scales, buryed ye 26 day September, anno: 1682." Children :

i. William,^ killed by the falling of a tree 26 Jan. 1670 (court record) . it. Matthew, private in Capt. Thomas Lathrop's Company ; killed by

Indians at Hatfield, Mass., 24 Aug. 1675 (Register, vol. 44,

p. 355).

2. iii. James.

JOHN^ Scales (supposed to be a brother of William) is on the tax list of Rowley before 25 Jan. 1664 (Register, vol. 15, p. 253). His name is among the list of freeholders in Rowley in 1667 ; house and gates, two freeholds (Register, vol. 27, p. 49). He married Susannah Jarrett, widow of John. She was buried 13 June 1683, and he on 13 Jan. 1683/4. His will, dated 9 Jan. 1683/4, was proved 27 Mar. 1 684. The inventory of his property amounted to £389-4-3. It is not known when he came to Rowley, but probably before 1650. Children :

i. John,* bur. 12 Jan. 1663/4.

ii. Susannah, b. 15, 10 mo : 1650; m. 28 Dec. 1676, Benjamin Scott.

They and the following children were mentioned in her father's

will: 1. John. 2. Joseph. 3. Sarah.

2. James^ Scales {William}-), born at Rowley, Mass., died there

during the winter of 1685/6, married at Rowley, 7 Nov. 1677, Sarah Curtis, baptized 15, 2 mo : 1654, daughter of Zacheus and Joanna of Boxford,* Mass. That she was dead before 1691 is shown by the following from Poor and Gray's Mss. (vol. 484) at Salem, Mass.: "April 23, 1691, John Harris of Ipswich prays to be appointed Admr. of Estate of William Scales of Rowley, dec'd, there being no other relative living to begg ye same . . . Granted." Children, born at Rowley :

3. i. Ja]vies,3 b. 30 Mar. 1679. ii. Sarah, b. 18 July 1681.

4. iii. William, b. 1 Mar. 1683.

5. iv. Matthew, b. 29 Mar. 1685.

3. James^ Scales {James,^ William}), born at Rowley 30 Mar. 1679,

died at Boxford in 1746. He married first at Rowley, 10 Mar. 1702, Sarah Curtis, born at Boxford 27 Dec. 1675, died before 1736, daughter of Zacheus and Abigail Curtis of Boxford ; married

secondly Mary , and they signed the covenant of the Church

at Boxford in Aug. 1636, as he had become a resident of that town previous to that date. Zacheus Curtis's will, dated 17 June 1710, codicil 18 Apr. 1712, proved 7 July 1712, mentions daughter Sarah Scales and son James Scales (Essex Co. Probate, vol. 10, pp. 244-45).

*This Zacheus Curtis embarked at Southampton in the ship James, 5 Apr. 1635. His granddaughter Sarah Curtis married his grandson James Scales. Tiiis marriage of cousins led to some confusion in tracing tlie Scales-Curtis ancestry.

In 1720 he and his brother Matthew removed to North Yarmouth to land that had been granted to their father. They built a house upon a point of land in the bay, where they resided untU kUled by the Indians. That the house was a garrison appears by an order of Col. Thomas Westbrook, dated 19 Nov. 1723, which says : " Sir. Put a corporal and four men of your company into Mr. Scales's Garrison at North Yarmouth to defend them, which you may draw off from any jjarticular marching as you may find occasion."

[From the for,egoing wills and entries the following Hyland pedigree has been constructed :

1. Richard Highland or Hyland, of Waldron, County Sussex, the testator of 1591. There were two of this name in the pai'ish at the same time, so that it is impossible to tell whether Jone, wife of Richard Hiland, who was buried 30 May 15G7, and Christian Smith, who married Richard Heiland 7 Sept. 1567, were wives of the man who was buried in 1586 or of the man who was buried in 1591. Certainly the wife of Richard Heil- laud who was buried 5 Jan. 1588/9 was wife of the testator of 1591, or she would have been styled " widow." The church register does not give many details I'egarding this generation of the family. Children :

i-iv. Four daughters, names unknown.

V. John, bur. at Waldron 5 Feb. 1G27/8 ; m. Joan , who was bur.

there early in Dec. 1626 ; was the testator of 1626/7, and his wUl shows male relatives but no children.

2. vi. Peter.

2. Peter Hyland, married before 1581. He and his children are men-

tioned in his father's will, but though he had more than one child, the only one whose name we know is

3. i. Thomas, bapt. at Waldron 29 June 1581 ; probably identical with

3. Thomas Heilland or Hyland, of Waldron, the testator of 1629/30,

was buried at Waldron 10 Feb. 1629/30. He married there, 17 May 1597, Agnes AVoodman, who was probably daughter of John of Mayfield. She died before her husband. Early marriages were not uncommon in those days, and the name Peter in this man's family (a name not found in his wife's family), and the fact that he was kinsman to John Hyland, make it probable that he was son of the above-named Peter. Children :

i. Mary, bapt. at Waldron 11 -Tune 1598; probably d. young, ii. John, eldest son liviua; in 1629/30.

4. iii. Thomas, bapt. at Waldron 23 Apr. 1604.

iv. Samuel, bapt. at Waldron 8 Nov. 1606 ; living in 1629/30.

V. Peter, bapt. at Waldron 1 Mar. 1607/8; d. probably bef. 1626/7;

not mentioned in his father's Avill, 1629/30. vi. Nicholas, bapt. at Waldron 3 July 1609 ; m. at Iden, Sussex, 1 Oct.

1632, Sarah Hunt, and had two sons named Thomas and a son

John ; executor of his father's will. vii. William, bapt. at Waldron 26 July 1612 ; living in 1629/30. viii. Josias, bapt. at Waldron 20 Sept. 1617; living In 1629/30. ix. Elizabeth, b. after 1609 ; living in 1629/30.

1912] Genealogical Research in England 67

X. Maky, b. after 1609 ; living in 1629/30. xi. Ann, bur. 2 Feb. 1629/30.

4. Thomas Heilland, Hiland, or Htland, was baptized at Waldron 23 Apr. 1604, and died in New England between 14 Feb. 1682/3

and 3 May 1683. He married Debora , and lived in Ten-

terden from 1629 to 1636, emigrated to New England, where he was a proj^rietor of Scituate in 1637, took the oath of allegiance 1 Feb. 1638/9, and was later a juryman and town officer. He left to his son Thomas lands in Waldron and a house in Tenterden. There is a "Hyland's Farm" in Waldi-on to-day, and a Hyland keeps a small dry-goods shop in Tenterden. Children :

i. Thomas, bapt. at Tenterden 15 Nov. 1629 ; m. in New England, 1

Jan. 1660/1, Elizabeth Stockbridge, daughter of John, and had

issue; living in 1683. ii. Mary, bapt. at Tenterden 27 Mar. 1631 ; m. in 1664, John Bryant,

and bad issue; living in 1683. iii. Elizabeth, bapt. at Tenterden 23 Sept. 1632 ; m. Eeancis James of

Hingham, and had issue ; living in 1688. iv. Sarah, bapt. at Tenterden 9 Mar. 1633/4; d. in New England in

Nov. 1688; m. there, 6 Jan. 1651/2, Thomas Turner of Scituate,

who d. in Nov. 1688 ; had issue. V. Annah, bapt. at Tenterden 17 Jan. 1635/6; not mentioned in her

father's will, vi. Samuel, d. in King Philip's war; m. Isabell , who m. (2)

Samuel Wetherell. vii. Deborah, m. in 1666 William Ticknor; living in 1683. viii. Ruth, not mentioned in her father's will. Was she the mother of

Joseph Studson, who is named as a grandson by Thomas Hyland

in his wUl?

George Hyland of Guilford, Conn., was probably descended from the Ticehurst branch of this family, but until further information from American sources has been secured, it is useless to try to identify him with any of the several Georges of that branch. — E. F].

[From the foregoing wills and entries the following Stedman pedigree has been drawn :

1. Gilbert Stedman of Biddenden, Kent, the testator of 1546, was

buried there 18 May 1546 \_sic]. He married Tomasyn , who

survived him. He was a weaver, as is indicated by his legacy of a loom to his youngest son. Children :

i. John, m. Elizabeth , who was perhaps bur. at Biddenden

23 Mar. 1557/8. He was probably bur. there 28 Oct. 1557, and Ms brother Richard administered his estate.

2. ii. Richard.

3. iii. Nicholas.

4. iv. Thomas the elder.

v. Thomas the younger, b. after 1526 ; probably m. (1) 14 Oct. 1548, Anne Bottynden; m. (2) Mary, who was bur. 23 May 1561. He probably had children, but tliey have not been identified.

2. Richard Ste*man of Biddenden was buried there 21 May 1559.

He married Margaret , who survived him and administered

his estate. He was administrator of his brother Thomas's estate in 1558.

Children, baptized at Biddenden :

i. JoHAN, bapt. 15 Jan. 1538/9 ; bur. in Biddenden 13 June 1562.

ii. Elizabeth, bapt. 27 Feb. 1540/1.

iii. Margaret, bapt. 21 July 1548.

iv. Richard, bapt. 12 Feb. 1550/1 ; m. 5 May 1577, Bridget Hamper,

and liad issue. V. Mary, bapt. 2 Aug. 1553 ; probably the Mary Stedman who m. John

Seelis in 1578 and was mother of Richard Sealis of Scituate. vi. George, bapt. 8 Nov. 1556.

3. Nicholas Stedman of Biddenden probably married, as his second

wife, after Apr. 1558, Alice (Pearce) Richards, widow of Thomas of Biddenden. Her daughter Eme married Isaac Stedman (see 6, below), grandfather of the emigrant to New England, The date of the death of Nicholas Stedman is unknown.

Children, by first wife (name unknown), baptized at Biddenden:

i. Thomas, bur. at Biddenden 24 Sept. 1538. * ii.H DMAS, bapt. 7 Oct. 1638; bur. at Biddenden 1 July 1551 (?).

1912] Genealogical Research in England 75

iii. William, bapt. 27 Nov. 1546 ; m. 21 Nov. 1569, Mary Pellan; had

issue. iv. Abraham, bapt. 5 Mar. 1548/9 or 13 Oct. 1550 ; bur. at Biclclenden

1 Mar. 1552/3. v. Alice, bapt. 5 May 1555 ; bur. at Biddenden 16 Oct. 1555. [Probably other children, unidentified.]

4. Thomas Stedman the elder of Biddenden was buried there either

5 Nov, 1557, or 4 Dec. 1564. He probably married twice. The name of his first wife is unknown, but his second wife was probably Elizabeth Fuller, whom he married at Biddenden 7

May 1548. She probably married for her second husband

Morars, and is mentioned in her son Gilbert's will. Thomas Sted- man's father and sons being weavers, it seems probable that he also was a weaver.

The tax lists show him to have been the most prosperous member of the family. It is very difficult to tell which entries in the parish registers refer to Thomas the elder and which to Thomas the younger, as only once, in the baptismal entry of Gilbert Stedman, son of Thomas the elder, is any distinction made between the two brothers.

Children, baptized at Biddenden :

5. i. James, bapt. 10 Oct. 1538.

ii. Isabell, bapt. 19 Dec. 1540; bur. at Biddenden 17 May 1541.

iv. Jane, bapt. 17 Feb. 1547/8 ; bur. 26 Feb. 1547/8.

6. V. Isaac, bapt. 24 May 1550.

vi. Joseph, bapt. 13 Sept. 1553 ; bur. at Biddenden 2 May 1561.

7. vii. Gilbert, bapt. 15 Jan. 1554/5.

[Probably several other children, whose identity is uncertain, among them probably a daughter who married John Johnson.]

5. James Stedman of Biddenden was baptized there 10 Oct. 1538, and

buried there 10 Oct. 1579. He married at Biddenden, 20 May 1565, Agnes Asshenden. Was she the widow Anne (that name and Agnes being interchangeable) Stedman who married, 6 June 1580, Thomas Sedweeke ?

Children, baptized at Biddenden :

i. Thomas, mentioned in his uncle Gilbert's will.

ii. Anne, bapt. 2 Aug. 1567.

6. Isaac Stedman of Biddenden, weaver, was baptized at Biddenden

24 May 1550, and was buried there 16 Jan. 1601/2. He married there, 1 Feb. 1574/5, Eme Richards, the testator of 1604, who survived him, administered his estate, and was buried at Biddenden 10 May 1604. She was baptized at Biddenden 11 Feb. 1547/8, daughter of Thomas and Alice (Pearce) of Biddenden, who were married there 10 May 1547. Thomas Richards was buried at Bid- denden 30 Apr. 1558. Alice Pearce was probably a sister of Richard Piers of Tenterden, the testator of 1543. She married secondly a Stedman, probably Nicholas, a son of Gilbert Stedman the elder. She was buried at Biddenden 11 Dec. 1574, and ad-

76 Genealogical Research in England [Jan.

ministration of her estate was granted 11 Jan. 1574/5 to her daughter Erne Richards, whose betrothed husband, Isaac Stedman, was one of the bondsmen. The Richards or Ricard family was a prosperous one in Biddenden.

Children, bajstized at Biddenden :

i. Alice, bapt. 20 Feb. 1575/6 ; m. 7 May 1599, Lawrence Chaplen ; had issue.

8. ii. Thomas, bapt. 21 Dec. 1578.

at Biddenden 15 Jan. 1554/5, and was buried there 13 June 1588.

He married Katharine , who survived him and proved his

will. It is to his will, uncalendared and unregistered, that we owe our knowledge of his brothers and sisters. From his bequests he was evidently a weaver. Child :

i. An infant bur. unbapt. 16 Sept. 1582.

8. Thomas Stedman of Biddenden, clothier and weaver, was baptized

at Biddenden 21 Dec. 1578. The date of his death and the name of his wife are unknown. There is the same confusion here regard- ing Thomases as in the earlier generations. Children, baptized at Biddenden :

9. i. Isaac, bapt. 21 Apr. 1605.

ii. Thomas, bapt. 5 Apr. or 24 May 1607.

iii. George, bapt. 9 Apr. or 3 Sept. 1609 ; perhaps bur. at Biddenden

4 Feb. 1616/7. iv. John (son of Tliomas Stedman ye weaver) bapt. 13 June 1612. V. Robert (son of Tliomas Stedman Jim.), bapt. 26 Apr. 1618.

9. Isaac Stedman of Biddenden and London, Scituate and Boston, was

baptized at Biddenden 21 Apr. 1605, and died in New England be- tween 2 Oct. and 19 Dec. 1678. He married Elizabeth -,

who was born about 1609, and with her and his two sons sailed in the ship Elizabeth from London 8 Apr. 1635. As Isaac "Stud- man " he was certified by the clergyman of St. Alphege Cripplegate, and by two men from Blackwell l5all, which was the cloth market of London, to which all the cloth-weaviag centres such as Biddenden sent their goods. It was in connection with this trade that Isaac Stedman probably went to London. He settled in Scituate, where he was admitted to the church 17 July 1636. He was constable and freeman 7 June 1648, removed to Boston in 1650, and later was of Muddy River, now Brookline. Savage says the name was anciently Studman, but the shipping entry is the only place in which it has been found so recorded. In the English records it is always Stedman, Steadman, Steedman, or Stedmond. Whether there was any connection between Isaac Stedman and the other Stedman emi- grants to New England is not known.

NOTES

It having come to the attention of this Society that certain genealogists and publishers have used the name of the Society m connection with their own enterprises, the Society again de- sires to state that it has NO genealogical representatives in this country or in England, nor is it in any way connected with any publications other than those that it issues over its own name at 18 Somerset Street, Boston.

The Committee on English Research desires to state, however, that although the Society has no official representative in England the Committee is employing Miss French as a record searcher there along special lines for the benefit of the Register.

Dame.— In the Register, vol. 65, p. 217, it is stated that Hunking^ Dame married Abigail Huckius. According to his granddaughter, Mrs. John Q. Pike of Dover, N. H., he married Hannah Boody® Huckins, daughter of Robert* and Hannah (Boody). The husband of Hunking^ Dame's daughter Auua^ (Nancy), Moses Huckins of Lee, farmer, born 9 Nov. 1774, died 10 Oct. 1811, married 2 Feb. 1803, was the son of Robert" and Mary^ (Dame, 14, vi).

Mary^ Dame (14, vi) married Robert® Huckins of Lee, yeoman, son of Robert* and Hannah (Boody), born at Madbury 25 Apr. 1750, died before 1824, liis widow surviving. Her sister Ruth^ (14, ix) married Robert^ Huckins's brother Israel,^ of Strafford, inn keeper, born at Madbury 15 Sept. 1760, died 20 May 1873. She died 6 Apr, 1841. Henry W. Hardon.

Hayes. — In the Wentworth Genealogy the Rev. Alonzo H. Quint stated that tradition attributed the origin of the John Hayes wlio appeared in Dover, N. H., about 1680, to Scotland. The following comments seem to point to a different conclusion. John Hayes settled in that part of Oyster River known as " Bar- badoes," presumably because he had friends or relations there. It is well known that there were close trade relations between Portsmouth and Dover and the Island of Barbadoes ; that some early settlers of that region migrated from Barbadoes ; and that others went to this island and remained several years, re- turning later to New Hampshire. A family by the name of Hayes was among the prominent Barbadoan planters, and like the Youngs— a name likewise com- mon in both localities— had trade relations with New England. Moreover, Wa- ters's Genealogical Gleanings proved that the Hayes family in Barbadoes sprang from a family living on the Surrey side of London. These statements are based on scattered entries in early colonial papers, already in print.

Christopher Jackson of Mile End, London, married Susan Johnson of Mile End. 5 Oct. 1602 (London Marriages). He was bur. 5 Dec. 163S. Children:

This list of Christo- pher's sons is copied from the " Eegister of St. Dunstan's Church, Stepney." His residence is first given as Mile End, afterwards as Bednall Green, and his occupation as mercliant tailor. The date of John's baptism is evidently 1603, instead of 1602 as recorded in the " Register." There is a good account of St. Dunstan's, Stepney, in Hare's "Walks in London."

Salisbury, Mass., Graveyard. — It is important that somebody should tran- scribe the gravestones in the ancient Salisbury burying ground before more of them become illegible.' Only a five-minute trolley ride from Newburyport, somebody could certainly be found to do this. In a short visit recently I copied a few stones, either of interest to myself or in a perishing condition. Five stones in a row, near the east corner of the yard, are as follows, reading from left to right :

Sar. Benjamin Stevens died March 13, 1690, in the 40th year of his age. Lieut. John Stevens died Nov. 26, 1691, in the 50th year of his age. A stone crumbling and mossgrown, but appears to show NS at right end of second line — presumably Stevens. The verse, however, is legible, and identical with the fifth stone, as given below.

Cornet Richard Hubburd Died June y« 16 1719 aged 88 years Faith & Love Are laid in y^ dust waighing for y« resorection of y<^ just.

Mrs. Martha Hubburd late wife of Cornet Richard Hubburd died October y" 1, 1718 Aged 73 years.

A tender mother A prudent wife At God's command Resind her life. Another stone back from these was to Benj. Stevens, Jun'-, died Feb. 22, 1709/ 10, in the 33d year of his age. Other stones nearby are to the Pikes. Still other names in the yard are True, Bradbury, French, Allen, Gill, Hooke, etc. Other stones which will soon be past reading are : Sar. Samuel Gi [11] died Nov. 19, 1709, in the 58th year of his age. Here lies Buried y^ Body of Mr. Thoomas French who [dep]arted this life March y« 30 1742 in y« 39"* year of his age.

Hubbard. — The finding of Richard Hubbard's gi'avestone, which carries his birth back to 1631, disposes of the account of two Richards, father and sou, as

fiven in the Hubbard book. By that account Cornet Richard Hubbard was born 640 and his father died in Salisbury 1690 (a manuscript letter from the late Mr. Douglas S. Hubbard says 1685), and identifies the latter with the Richard of Hotten's Lists, aged 18 in 1635. Manifestly he could not have been father of a son born in 1631. It may be added that, aside from the birth and death of an infant son Richard, there are no indications of two Richards Hubbard in Salis- bury, although the one is mentioned scores of times in the town records, first in 1661, Avhich I copied — a gi-ant of 8 acres to Richard Hubbard, 29-11 mo. 1661, " provided he stays in the town 3 years and improve himself in his trade for y^ goode of the towne." He was in later years commonly called " Mr.," was rep-

resentative and quartermaster, besides being " Cornet" (cavalry color bearer), which he chose for his title on his wife's gravestone. His wife was Martha Allen, granddaughter of Richard Goodale, the age on her gravestone agreeing with the record of her birth. As their first child was not born until f<367, it seems not improbable that Mr. Hubbard had an earlier wife, and that Hannah Hubbard, married to Thomas Eaton 14 Nov. 1679, whom the Hubbard book makes his sister, may have been his daughter. The Hubbard book makes the earliest birth to John and Jane Hubbard twins, Richard and John, but the record reads, not Richard & John, but " Richard y^ Soue."

" CoLLENSBY." — I would like to put an end to this name for all time, as in thirty years lookout I have never met it, and do not believe it ever existed. It should be noted that the " Coll " in Salisbury records is in a later hand and dif- ferent ink, as those four letters are the only unfaded ink on the page. The town's copy, made by Asa Webster in 1854, makes one of the diary items read, " John Hubbard maried to Jane * ensby." An account of Salisbury fami- lies by Asa W. Brown, printed in the Register the same year (vol. 8, p. 158),

makes it read '^ Coll [torn]." The original has now been restored by the

Emery process. The tear, which is hardly perceptible, was not near "Coll" but on the opposite edge of the page, the name dividing, " CoUe " ending one line and "nfby" beginning the next. Leastwise I am prepared to admit that this is how it read when Mr. "Webster made his copy. The old fashioned " e " following the bright and clear " Coll" is now an almost imperceptible shadow, while the " nfby" is so nearly vanished that President Waters, of the Ipswich Historical Society, in a recent inspection, did not make out the "n" or the lower loop of the very large "f" which Capt. Bradbury used before a loop letter. To show how badly faded the page must have been even in 1854, the third entry above this Hubbard marriage was in the town copy passed over as a blank space. In the exceptional light which I was fortunate enough to enjoy, bright sunshine outdoors with the thin window shades drawn, I was able to make out an unmistakable shadow " Jn^ Quenby," and I later found John Quinby's birth in exactly the same formation of letters, 7:7: 1665. In this favorable light I could cleai'ly perceive the shadowy " e" and the " fby " and before the " f " a shadow the right size for the " n." But while admitting that Mr. Web- ster in 1854 copied what he found, I do not admit the name " CoUensby," for several reasons :

(1) No such name ever existed.

(2) It never was a record, but mere report of the bride's name which reached

the aged clerk's ear. Collins, Colby, and Fellows were common Salis- bury names, and would lead the way to a transfusion of initials, " Collensby " from Follensby.

(3) The original entry is gone— only a later super-entry remains.

(4) Several slight circumstances render it likely that Jane " Coll " ensby was

sister of Mary Follansby who was married two years before to Robert Pike, Jr., of Salisbury, their mother dead and their father remarried. Mrs. Jane Hubbard was grandmother to the beloved Parson Tompson of South Berwick and great-great-grandmother to the famous Governor John Hub- bard of Maine, and to New Hampshire's war governor, Ichabod Goodwin.

Ware Family Bible Records. — Dr. B. P. Crocker of Foxborough, Mass., has sent for the use of the Society a copy of the records in a Bible which he re- cently found at the town farm. On the first page is " Presented to Sarah Ware by her Father Dec. 7, 1816." Dr. Ci'ocker presumes that the father was Samuel Coverly, and that Sarah was the wife of Ephraim Groves Ware.

Marriages Ephraim Groves Ware and Sarah Coverly were married May 13, 1816

EECORDS OF THE DRESDEN, ME., CONGRE- GATIONALIST CHURCH

Communicated by William Davis Patterson of Wiscasset, Me.

The Rev. Freeman Parker, by whom these records were begun and under whose direction they were continued, was born at Barn- stable, Mass., 13 July, 1776. He was fitted by the Rev. Oakes Shaw of Barnstable for Harvard College, which he entered in 1793. After his graduation in 1797, he studied theology, and upon being licensed by the Andover Association he, after preaching three months in Dresden, Me., became the first ordained and settled minister of ;the Congregationalist Church in that town, at a salary of $500 per year, under a contract which continued from his settlement in Sep- stember, 1801, until his release of the town therefrom in 1816.

Mr. Parker continued to reside in Dresden until 1829, and to ■preach occasionally for a society organized there, after the dissolu- 'tion of his contract with the town, until 1835. He married Rebecca, .a daughter of Hon. Thomas Rice of Wiscasset, 6 November, 1804. "Upon leaving his home in Dresden he took up his residence in Wis- casset, where he lived until his death, 24 April, 1854, in the house ■which his wife's father had buUt and lived in.

Mr. Parker's sight began to fail about the time of his ordination, and in a few years he became totally blind, and was afterwards known as the "blind preacher of Dresden." Having no successor in Dresden, and the organization of his church apparently lapsing at his removal from that town, his book of records remained in his possession, and in it certain entries were made during his residence in Wiscasset, where he at times preached in the Fii'st Parish Church. The book is now in the possession of Mrs. S. D. Brewster of New York City, who is a great-granddaughter of Mr. Parker, and who has kindly allowed a copy to be made for the use of this Society.

Church Records Freeman Parker received an invita. from the ch. society in Dresden to

settle with them in the work of the gospel ministry Sept. 1st. 1800 — gave

his answer in the affirmative May 10"^ 1801, & was ordained Sept 2d 1801. The congregational ch'h was embodied Aug*' 14'^ 1801, at wh time the

August 1, 1817. Voted that persons on their admittance into the church in future shall not be required as heretofore to subscribe the covenant but shall publicly give their assent to the following

Church confession You do now in the presence of Almighty God and before this Christian assembly profess your sincere belief in the existence providence and gov- ernment of one God, who is infinitely wise just and good, the searcher of hearts and the judge of all the earth. You believe in the truth, inspira- tion and sufficiency of the holy Scriptures. You believe that God spake to the fathers by the prophets, and now in the Gospel speaketh unto us by his only begotten Son, who is the brightness of the fathers glory and the express image of his person, and the one mediator between God and man. You believe in mans primeval innocence, voluntary transgression and un- happy apostacy. You believe in the universal sinfulness of mankind, and in the necessity of a renovation of heart and life by the Spirit of God. You believe in a future state of righteous retribution, in the resurrection of the body and a final Judgment. You believe that the terms of salvation are repentance for sin, faith in the Saviour, and a life devoted to God in holy obedience. You humbly and penitently confess your sins of every name and nature, and sincerely implore the forgiveness of them through the merits of Jesus Christ in whom we have redemption through his blood ac- cording to the riches of his grace. You truly desire to dedicate yourself to God in newness of life and sincerely resolve to deny all ungodliness and conform your temper and practice to the Spirit, laws and institutions of Christianity. You commit yourself to the care and discipline of this Chris- tian Church and promise to comply with its internal rules and regulations, 60 far as they are agreeable to the Gospel, and to walk in communion with it so long as God shall give you opportunity.

Thus you believe, confess, resolve and promise. You are now under the sacred bonds of the covenant. The vows of God are upon you. And in the name of this Church I declare you to be a member of it in full communion, and promise that we will watch over you in the spirit of meekness and charity, and endeavour to promote your pres- ent and everlasting welfare. And now it is our most earnest prayer that God would pour out his spirit upon us and bless us and from time to time add to our number such as shall be saved, and that the glorious and blessed day may at length arrive when all the families of the earth shall be united into one christian society under Jesus Christ who is made head over all things to the church. Amen

• Son of Lieut. Benjamin Cleaves and wife Rebecca Conant, was born at Beverly, Mass., 4 Jan. 1721/2, and died from the infirmities of old age, being buried 16 Aug. 1808, aged 86 yrs. Called deacon on his gravestone.

For an account of the expedition, etc., see Winsor, Narrative and Critical History of America, vol. 5, ch. vii, especially Critical Essay on the Sources of Information. Cf. Journal of Captain William Pote, Jr., New York, 1896 ; also Emerson's Louisburg Journal in Mass. Historical Society Proceedings, vol. 44, pp. 65-84.

t In copying this journal the Editor has endeavored to make a faithful transcription, though in the interest of clearness it has seemed advisable to him to furnish the punctuation which is almost wholly lacking in the original. Any additions by way of explanation, or due to worn margins, have been placed in brackets.

J Hudson, "Louisbourg Soldiers" (Register, vol. 24, p. 373), mentions Benjamin Ives as captain of the 10th Company, 5th Mass. Regiment, of which Robert Hale was colonel; but subsequently (vol. 25, p. 259), speaking of this company, says : " I have found no list of officers or men. Benjamin White was Adjutant, and Ebenezer Prout Commissary of this regiment." The gap is now filled by the list of men preceding the journal.

SOME DESCENDANTS OF DANIEL laNG, GENTLEMAN, OF LYNN, MASS.

By La-weence Beainerd of Forest Hills, Mass.

1. Daniel^ King, styled "Mr." and "Gentleman," was born in Eng- land in 1602, and was the son of Ralphe Kinge of Watford, Hertfordshire. He came to America about 1637 and settled at Lynn, where he became a leading citizen, a merchant of enterprise, and a large land owner. He is referred to in Aspinwall's Notarial Records as " Daniell King of Linne Woollen Draper" in 1645 (p. 20) ; and as "mercer" in 1648, when he is mentioned as brother of " M' Samuel King woolen drap. at the upper End of Cheapeside neere Saint Martins in London" (p. 150; see also pp. 68, 89, 1 82, 197). He married in England, 4 Oct. 1 624, Elizabeth (StUT, who died in Lynn 26 Feb. 1677. He died there 27 May 1672.

Children :

large land owner in Lynn, holding 1200 acres in what is now Swamp- scott; selectman in 1678; first lieutenant in the Lynn Military Company in 1680, of which his father-in-law was captain, and later captain of the same himself. He married, 2 Mar. 1 663, Elizabeth Walker, daughter of Captain Richard of Lynn, Reading, and Bos- ton, and in 1670 Deputy-Governor of Nova Scotia and Acadia (un- der Sir Thomas Temple, Bart.), and wife Jane (Talmage). Captain King died in January, 1688/9, and was buried on the 17th of that month. The History of Lynn for the year states : " Captain Ralph King died this year. He was a man of prominence and usefulness. He left an estate quite considerable for the time, the appraisal show- ing in amount £2,365. 4s." His widow married Lieut. John Lewis and was the administratrix of the estate, and it is evident that she died before 1715, when, in the final settlement of the same, Capt.

He married, 18 April 1699, Abigail Rogers, then of Concord.

RECORDS OF THE CHURCH IN SOUTH KILLINGLY,

CONN.

From a copy in the possession of the Connecticut Society of Colonial Dames Communicated by Miss Mart K. Talcott of Hartford, Conn.

The Third Church in Killingly, known as the South Church in Killingly, organized in 1746, sprang out of a prolonged contro- versy in the First Church (Killingly Hill), concerning the location of a new meeting-house. The bleakest eminence in town, Break- neck Hill, was the spot selected for the site of the new church, but the new organization did not prosper, and became extinct about 1771. The same year in which the Third Church was instituted a " Separate " Church was organized in the southeastern quarter of the town, then, as now, known as South Killingly, and April 23, 1747, the Rev. Samuel Wadsworth was elected pastor. The rec- ords of this Church are given below, and also a copy of a fragment of the record of the Breakneck Hill Church, now in the possession of the South Killingly Church, is appended. It is evident that a number of the same families who lived in that section of the old town of Killingly went from that church to the other, and took this fragment with them. The Rev. Nehemiah Barker (Yale, 1742) , who kept this record, the pastor from 1746 to 1755, removed to Mattituck, Long Island, where, in 1756, he became pastor of a Presbyterian Church.

A coppy of the articles of faith & a church couin[ant] agread upon by a number of christian brethren belonging to seueral towns at a meting at mansfield October y*^ 9 1745 which are as followeth viz

The above is all that remains of this list, and all of the foregoing is written on both sides of the paper and evidently the first five pages of an eight page signature which has been torn from the original binding. In the original record are a few fragments of leaves badly torn and some of the names are legible and correspond with more or less accuracy to the list of members printed in the Manual of the Church of 1888, pages 20-26. This list was probably taken from a copy of the original record.

CHUECH MEMBERSHIP, MARRIAGES, AND BAPTISMS

ON THE ISLES OF SHOALS IN THE

EIGHTEENTH CENTURY*

Contributed by Joseph W. Warren, M.D., of Bryn Mawr, Pa.

In the book of " The Records of the Church of Gosport " the Rev. John Tucke, pastor of that church from July 1732 to August 1773, or longer, has noted the church membership together with detailed lists of the persons baptized or married by him during his service of forty-one years. It seems desirable to preserve these lists in a more permanent ^orm. At another time I hope to extend this partial enumeration of the inhabitants of the Isles of Shoals and to determine the various families so far as the existing documents permit. The lists here printed include residents on Hog Island (the Appledore of to-day) and Smutty Nose, as well as dwellers in the town of Gosport, but it must not be supposed that all the inhabitants are given, for many of them had no close relations to this church. Unfortu- nately, the book contains no lists of deaths or burials.

This particular church was the most conspicuous and also the best known of the numerous congregations which from time to time have existed on the Shoals ; its origin is given in a memorandum prepared by the Rev. Nathaniel Morrill, pastor of the church in Rye. This is copied by Mr. Tucke on page 4 of the Records, and reads in its essential part as follows :

" Anno Domini 1729. Sometime in the Spring of this year, at an Asso- ciation of Ministers at Hampton, the Case of the People of the Isle of Shoales with respect to their being without an Ordain'd Minister was con- sider'd, & it was tho't expedient to send over a Minister or Two to see how the People Stood affected towards the Settlement of a Minister among them, & accordingly somet [? sic'\ Ministers were chosen to go over, but they not going, this Affair for the Present came to nothing. After this the People themselves sent over to an Association at Portsmouth desiring their Advice & Direction & they chose y^ Rev^ M"^ Morril of Rye to go over & see if he could gather a Church among them. Accordingly M"^ Morril came over & the People readily agreed to have a Church Gather'd amongst them & that the 29*"^ of June be observed as a Day of Fasting & Prayer. And accordingly y® 29"^ of June 1729 was kept & the persons mentioned over Leaf in the Morning met at M"" Joshua Moodys Lodging & the afore mentioned Confession being Read unto them they then Signd the afore mentioned Covenant & then they went to Meeting where was made known what was done in Private & those Persons did in Publick'

* At ivs conclusion this article will be followed by the Town Records of Gosport.

The document "over Leaf" is entitled "The Covenant of y® C*^ of Gosport, June 26^^ 1729," that being the day of the agreement, although the formal acceptance and signing took place three days later.

The marks against some of the names above are explained on a slip of

paper, in the handwriting of Mr. Tucke, which is pinned to the first page

of the book, and reads as follows :

" Those of y® C^^', w**" This Mark X before Their Names, are dead :

Those, w''^ This Mark -{-, have Removed from Hence :

Those, w*'^ This Mark X After Their Names, are Dead, After They

Removed.

Wrote Jan^ 7"> 1771 "

The only recorded admission by letter occurred Sept. 3, 1738 (p. 13), when " M''^ Joanna Muchamore y® [second] Wife of Deac" Muchamore " was received by virtue of a letter from " y® Reverend M"" Caleb Cushing Pastour of y^ hrst C"* of Christ in Salisbury "

Few Dismissions from the Church of Gosport are noted. The list (p. 91)

is this : July 3<^ 1743. " Andrew Mace & Deborah His Wife " to the First Church

in Hampton. Sepf^ 13'"^ 1761. " The Rev^^ M^' John Tucke of Epsom, going to be Or-

dain'd there," dismissed to the Church in Epsom. Aug^' 13'!^ 1769. " Sarah Muchmore, Now y^ AVife of Thomas Fellows"

to the Church in Hampstead. Aug^' 27*^ 1769. " Susaima Currier, Widow of Caleb Currier, Deceased,

having Since Her Husbands Death Removed to Portsmouth," to the

South Church in Portsmouth. Oct'^ IS*'^ 1769. Elizabeth Talpey to the First Church in York.

The Marriages at Gosport occupy a little more than four pages of the Church book, beginning at page 183. f The entries are marked as

" A Record of Marriages by ," the words " y® Rev'^ M'^' John

Tucke " having been erased. The record is entirely in the hand of Mr. Tucke, as follows :

* In a letter of 4 July, 1743 Mr. Tucke writes : " We have a revival of religion among us." He does not say when it began.

t It must be remembered the marriages of Shoalers were often celebrated on shore, and such marriages are consequently not recorded here.

NOTES ON THE PITIQN ANCESTEY IN ENGLAND

Communicated by Miss Mart Kingsbury Talcott of Hartford, Conn.

These Pitkin notes vrere gathered by the compiler in England during the past summer, and, while not giving a complete family record, they furnish interesting particulars regarding the English origin of a family w^liich has been a prominent one in Connecticut, having furnished a Governor, a United States Senator, several Judges of the Superior Court and other eminent lawyers, a number of military officers who served in the French and Indian Wars and in the Revolution, and also several clergymen.

William Pitkin, who came to Hartford in 1659, and was, at once, engaged to fill the position of Master of the Grammar School, had received an excellent legal education, and, judging from the con- tents of a number of note-books in his handwriting which have been preserved, he was well taught in theological lore. About two years later he was appointed King's Attorney for the Colony, and he was considered one of the ablest lawyers in Connecticut. He was Deputy from Hartford to the General Court from 1675 to 1684, 1689, 1690, Treasurer of the Colony, 1676-1678, Assistant, 1690- 1694, holding this office at the time of his death. Commissioner of the United Colonies, for Connecticut, in 1678, Commissioner in 1683 to treat with Governor Dongan about the New York Boundary, and in 1693 one of the Commissioners to adjust the New York Boundary Line. He died Dec. 16, 1694, aged 58, according to his gravestone in the Centre Church burying-ground in Hartford. He married, about 1661, Hannah, daughter of Ozias Goodwin of Hart- ford. In his will, dated Sept. 27, 1694, he mentions his "dear Brother Roger," and his " Sister Woolcott." The latter was the bril- liant and attractive Martha Pitkin, who came to New England in

1912] Pitkin Ancestry in England 161

1661 to visit her brother, hoping, according to tradition, to take him back to England with her. So great was the admiration aroused by her talents and brilliancy it was decided by some of the elders of the Colony that such a desirable personality should not be allowed to leave the Colony, and that she should be induced to remain. It is also said that some of the younger men drew lots to decide which of them should be fortunate enough to pay his addresses to her. Simon Wolcott, of Windsor, was the lucky man, and she married him and became the ancestress of a distinguished race — governors, judges, etc. After Mr. Wolcott's death she married a second hus- band, Hon. Daniel Clark. She died in East Windsor, Oct. 13, 1719, "in her 80"^ year," which corresponds exactly to the date of her baptism in Berkhamsted, Co. Herts, in 1639.

It will be seen that all the particulars the compiler has found in England agree with such traditional knowledge as we had of the early history of the Pitkins, and it is interesting to know that the father of William, Roger, and Martha was an Oxford graduate, and Master of the famous old school at Berkhamstead, originally founded by King Henry VIII, but re-organized and endowed by Edward VI, and known as the Free School of King Edward VI. Some Pitkin wills of an earlier date were found, and as the testators lived in the vicinity of Berkhamstead they were probably related to William, the burgess of Berkhamstead. The will of Robert Pytkyne of Ivinghoe, Co. Bucks, dated Feb. 27, 1579, mentions two sons named William, William the elder, and William the younger, and a further search may reveal a relationship.

In Vol. 34, pp. 194-5, of the Register is printed a letter from Walter Bamesley, of London, to William Pitkin in Hartford, written in 1667, which confirms the foregoing statements. See also the Pitkin Genealogy, by A.. P. Pitkin, Hartford, 1887^ and Mrs. Salisbury's Family Histories, 1892, Vol. 2.

3. Thurston Rayner of Elmsett, co. Suffolk, was baptized at Elmsett 21 Sept. 1593, and married, not later than 13 Apr. 1620, Eliza- beth , who was born about 1598. With his wife Elizabeth

and his children, Thurston, aged 13, Joseph, aged 11, Elizabeth, aged 9, Sarah, aged 7, and Lidia, aged 1, he sailed for New England the last of April, 1634, in the Ship Elizabeth of Ipswich. With him came also to America Edward Raynor, aged 1 0, whose name on the shipping list follows immediately that of Lidia Raynor, and Eliza- beth Kemball, aged 13.*

Thurston Rayner resided first at Watertown, Mass., later at Wethersfield and Stamford, Conn., and finally at Southampton, Long Island. He was a prominent man in these settlements, was elected several times to public office, and is mentioned often in the colonial and town records. He died in 1667, his will being dated 6 July and proved 4 Nov. of that year. The will mentions wife Martha (showing that he had married again), sons Joseph and Jonathan, "my other five children" (not named), "my brother Samuell Cleark," and "my Cozen m''. John Howell." The widow Martha was admitted as executrix 5 Nov. 1667.t

Children : % i. Thurston, bapt. at Elmsett 19 Sept. 1620 ; embarked with his fa- ther for New England ; uotliing further known about him. ii. Joseph, b. in England about 1623; came with his father to New England ; resided at Southampton, L. I. ; will, dated 8 May 1678 and presented for probate 6-8 June 1682, mentions wife Mary and several children, administration being committed to his widow, Mary Raynor, 28 Oct. 1682. || iii. Elizabeth, b. in England about 1625 ; embarked with her father

for New England ; nothing further known about her. iv. Sarah, b. in England about 1627 ; embarked with her father for

New England ; nothing further known about her. V. Lyt)ia, b. in England aljout 1633 ; embarked with her father for

New England ; nothing further known about her. vi.§ Deborah, b. in New England; m. (1) not later than 2 May 1660,

•These names and ages ai-e from the shipping list published in Drake's Founders of New England, pp. 51-53, and in Hotten's Original Lists, pp. 280-282. This Edward Raynor is probably the Edward Raynor of Hempstead, Long Island, whose will, dated 27 Mar. 1681 but not recorded, mentions wife (not named), eldest son Samuel, " her [wife's] five children" (not named), and "my brother Thomas Patrigh." Simon Searing, Thomas Patrigh, Jonathan Seaman, and Nathaniel Pearsall are to be "over- seers over my wife and children . . . and they may dispose of the estate for their benefit, till they come to age." (New York Historical Society's Abstracts of Wills, vol. 1, p. 469.) This Edward, both from the position of his name in the shipping list and from the fact that he is not mentioned in Thurston Rayner's will, could hardly have been Thurston's son. Savage (Genealogical Diet., vol. 3, p. 514) suggests that he may have been a nephew of Thurston, He was too young to be the Edward, son of Thurston's brother Edward, or the Edward, son of Thurston's brother Richard, both of whom were mentioned in the will of Thurston's father in 1620/21 ; but he may have been a son of Thurston's brother Samuel, his own eldest son being named Samuel.— Henry Edwards Scott.

t The original will of " Thirstan Rainer " is in the Surrogate's Office, Hnll of Re- cords, New York City, where also the recorded copy may be found (lib. 1-2, pp. 22- 23). The statements given above have been taken from the original will. There is an abstract of this will in the New York Historical Society's Abstracts of Wills, vol. 1, pp. 6-7. — Henry Edwards Scott.

There were two distinct Suffolk families of Rayners, one living in the extreme western part of the county, on the border of Cambridgeshire (many of this family are found in Soham, co. Cambridge), and the other in the eastern part of Suffolk, the early members of this family having lived in the region of Kettleburgh. Elmsett, the English home of Thurston Ray- ner, is about seven miles from Ipswich in a northwesterly dii-ection, and Wickliam Market, where Robert Raynere, the grandfather of Thurston, lived, is about twelve and one half miles from Ipswich in a northeasterly direction, and about ten miles due west from the North Sea. Kettleburgh lies about four miles northwest from Wickham Market. — E. F.]

Parmenter The Will of John Parmiter of Sudbury in the County of Suffolk, glo- ver, 1 September 1626. I give to John Parmiter my eldest son £40 at

•John Scott and Deborah his wife convey land to Thomas Hutchinson 2 May 1660 (Records of the Colony of Connecticut, MSS., vol 1, jj. 315, at Hartford); Deborah Scott signs receipt for ten pounds from the estate of her father, Mr. Thurston Kaynor, 12 Nov. 1667 (Southampton Town Records, vol. 2, p. 274) ; Charles Sturmy conveys land to his "Son in Law John Scott" (known to be a son of John and Deborah Scott) 18 Aug. 1680 (Southampton Red Book of Deeds, MSS., pp. 225-226); adminis- tration on Charles Sturmy's estate in Pelletreau's Early Long Island Wills, pp. 58-60.

t Southampton Records, vol. 2, pp. 225, 249, 282; Howell, Hist, of Southampton, 2d ed., pp. 317, 357; Banta, Sayre Family, p. 33.

X Southampton Records, vol. 2, p. 274; Howell, History of Southampton, pp. 222, 357.

II It is proved by the receipt published in Southampton Records, vol. 2, p. 274, that Thomas Cooper, Christopher Lupton, and John Rose were sons-in-law of Thurston Rayner. The wives of these three men, together with Deborah Scott and Hannah Howell, must be the " other five children " of Thurston Rayner's will. Ho-vvell, Hist, of Southampton, p. 357, states that Abigail Rayner married Christopher Lupton, re- ferring (p. 341) to the will of the latter, 1686, as authority, and that another daughter, whose name is unknown, married John Rose. But the will of John Rose, dated 4 May 1696, mentions his wife Abigail (Early Long Island Wills, pp. 150-153). The daughter who became the wife of Christopher Lupton may have been one of the three daughters who were born in England. She had issue.

§ Southampton Records, vol. 2, pp. 243, 294. Howell, Hist, of Southampton, pp. 357, 358, represents a Joseph, Mary Cooper, Abigail Lupton, Deborah Scott, .Jonathan, and the wife of John Rose as children of Thurston Rayner the younger (who, as has been shown above, was baptized at Elmsett in 1620). He thinks that there were two Thurs- ton Rayners, both with wives named Martha and both dying in 1667, and states that, improbable as that may seem, " the evidence all points to that conclusion." On the contrary, a careful study of the printed records of Southampton shows that, with the exception of a Thurston who was son of Joseph and who removed to Ca])e May, N. J., there was onlj' one Thurston Rayner at Southampton from 1649 on. Moreover, the will of only one Thurston Rayner, 1667, is extant, who describes himself in his will as " stricken in age and not knowing how long my dayes shall continue in this world " ; and it would be very difficult to reconcile Howell's theory about two Thurston Ray- ners with the facts that are established about the Rayners and the families connected with them by marriage.

He is first mentioned in the borough records in 1617, and in 1622 he was a free tenant.

4. Joseph Parmiter, or Parminter, was baptized at Bildeston 2 Sept.

1582. He does not appear in the borough records of Sudbury, al- though records of some of his children are given in the registers of All Saints, so probably he did not reside permanently in Sudbury. The name of his wife and time and place of his death are as yet unknown, and as no will of his has yet been found, the account of his family is incomplete. Children :

6 OR 7. Robert Parmenter, born in England, was in Braintree, Mass., before 1648, his associations indicating tbat be was of the foregoing family in England ; but it is yet uncertain whether he was a son of Joseph or Daniel. Inasmuch as his age stated at death indicates that he was born in 1622, it is most probable he was son of Joseph, a point which further research may establish. He was admitted freeman of the Colony 22 May 1650, was chosen a deacon of the Braintree church 7 Dec. 1677, and died at Braintree 27 June 1696, aged 74 years, according to the records.

He married at Braintree, 3 Apr. 1648, Leah (Sanders) Whe4T- LEY, baptized in All Saints, Sudbury, 10 Oct. 1623, daugRter of Martin Sanders (of whom an account is apjiended) and widow of John Wheatley. She died at Braintree 24 Mar. 1706/7.

Children, born at Braintree :

i. John, b. 23 Oct., d. 4 Nov. 1653.

ii. Joseph, b. 20 Dec. 1665 ; d. 20 Feb. 1736/7; m. 17 Nov. 1675, Mary

Marsh, and had six children ; was town clerk of Braintree for

thirty years. iii. Elizabeth, b. 29 Oct, 1657; m. 11 Aug 1673, Sajwuel Penniman. iv. Hannah, b. 17 Jan. 1658/9; m. 25 Dec. 1684, Samuel Tompson.

John Parmenter of Sudbury, Mass., in 1639, did not belong to this im- mediate branch of the Parmenter family. Data on his ancestry will appear in a future issue of the Register. — E. F.]

Sanders

Martin Sanders, currier, aged 40, came to New England from London in the spring of 1635 in the ship Planter, bringing his wife Rachel, aged 40, and children Mary, aged 15, Leah, aged 10, Judith, aged 8, and Martin, aged 4 (see Hotten's Original Lists, pp. 47, 48). He settled at Brain- tree, Mass., where he died 4 Aug. 1658, leaving a will dated 5 July 1658, which was disallowed, and his estate divided by agreement between his eldest son John Sanders, Francis Eliot (husband of Mary Sanders), Martin Sanders (youngest son), and Robert Parminter (husband of Leah Sanders), the latter also receiving £15 for his "daughter-in-law Rachel" [i. e. step- daughter Rachel Wheatley]. (Register, vol. 10, p. 87.)

He married first, about 1618, Rachel , born about 1595, who

was the mother of all his children, and who died at Braintree, Mass., 15 Sept. 1651 ; and secondly, 23 May 1654, Elizabeth Bancroft, widow of Roger.

That Martin Sanders lived at Sudbury, England, before emigrating to America in 1635, is made evident by these records of all his

1. Isaac Mixer of Capel, co. Suffolk, weaver, the testator of 1641,

was buried there 25 Mar. 1642. He married first Frances , who

was buried 24 Feb. 1620/1 ; secondly Susan , who died 26 Apr.

1628; and thirdly the widow Anna Blosse, 12 Feb. 1628/9. Children by first wife, all but two baptized at Capel :

i. George, m. at Capel, 26 Oct. 1620, Dorothy Chisnall; executor

of his father's will; had children Mary and Lidia. ii. Jane, bapt. 7 May 1597; m. 11 June 16i8, Joseph Bridkn; named in her father's will.

Children by second wife, baptized at Capel :

ix. John, bapt. 26 Oct. 1623 ; named in his father's will. X. Mary, bapt. 20 Apr. 1628 ; bur. at Capel 26 Apr. 1628.

2. Isaac Mixer of Capel, England, and Watertown, Mass., was baptized at Capel 3 Oct. 1 602, and died, probably in Watertown, between 8 May and 19 June 1655. He married at Capel, 11 May 1629, Sarah Thurston, born about 1599 or 1600, and with her and their son Isaac sailed for New England from Ipswich, 10 Apr. 1634. He settled at Watertown, where he was a proprietor in 1636 and free- man 2 May 1638. His widow died 24 Nov. 1681.

Children : i. Isaac, b. in England about 1630 ; m. (1) Mary Coolidge, daughter of John; m. (2) Rebecca Garfield, daughter of Edward; m. (3) . Mary (Lothrop) French, widow of William of Billerica, pre- viously widow of John Stearns of Billerica, and daughter of Thomas Lothrop ; had fifteen children by his first two wives. ii. Sarah, b. in New England; d. in 1656; m. John Stearns of Bille- rica, son of Isaac of Watertown; had two sons.

No further light on the ancestry of the elder Isaac Mixer has been found. The early wills show the family to have been located at Shotley. It may be suggested, however, that the John Mixer, whose numerous family is recorded at Capel, may be identical with the John, son of Edmund, baptized at Medging, nine miles from Capel, and that he may also be a brother of Isaac. The name is variously spelled Mixer and Mixter. — E. F.]

THE ENGLISH ANCESTRY OF ROBERT PAGE OF HAMPTON, N. H.

By George Walter Chamberlain, M.S., of Maiden, Mass.

In 1860 Samuel Gardner Drake, one of the founders of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, published his The Founders of Nevr England, and on pages 44 to 48 of that volume he repro- duced "a Register of persons " vv^ho desired "to passe into forraigne partes ... by vertu of a commission granted to M'' Thomas Mayhew, gentleman."

One of the entries vrhich was published reads as follows :

"Aprill the 11th 1637. The examinaction of Robertt Page of Ormsby in Norff. husbandman, ageed 33 yeares and Lucea his wife, aged 30 yeares, with 3 children, Frances, Margrett, and Susanna, and 2 Saruants, William Moulton and Anne Wadd ; the one aged 20 yeares the other 15 yeares, and are all deskous to passe for New England to inhabitt and Remaine."

1912] Unglish Ancestry of Robert Pag'] 181

In the Register for 1872 (vol 26, p. 75) Dr» William Prescott of Concord, N, H., communicated the results of his investigations concerning the parentage of Robert Page in his introduction to hia descendants. From the fact that what Dr. Prescott published cor- responds with the English Notes of the late Horatio G. Somerby, it is inferred that they were the result of the latter's English gleanings. As the parish registers of Ormsby St. Margaret do not begin until 1675 and the register of Acle till 1664, the establishment of the Page pedigree was regarded as difficult. Recent researches enable me to carry it back to a period as early as 1550 with certainty. The pedigree is based upon the following English wills :

Will of Robert Page of Acle made May 8, 1450. I Robert Page de- sire my body to be buried in the chm'chyard of St. Edaiund King and Martyr at Acle. To the high altar 12 pence. To the emendation of the sd church 8s. To the light of the Blessed Virgin Mary in sd church 6d. To the Brotherhood of St. Edmund King and Martyr 2s. The residue of my goods I give to my executors. I appoint I^icholas Hardy and Margaret my wife my executors. Proved at Norwich May 16, 1450, by Nicholas Hardy with power reserved to Margaret wife of the deceased. (Consistory Court of Norwich, 1448-1455, Alleyn 41.)

Will of James Page of Acle made December 2, 1534. To be buried in the churchyard of St. Edmund King and Martyr in Acle. To the Church of St. Mary burgh within Flegge [Fleggborough] 6s. 8d. To the reparation of the Church at Ridlington a quarter of malt. The residue of my goods and chattells whatsoever, I bequeath to my executors and I ordain Henry Page of Acle and James Hall, mariner, of Burgh in Flegge executors. Witnesses : William Corbet, Thomas Calne, with others. Proved at Acle, January 16, 1535, by the executors. (Archdeaconry Court of Norwich, 1529-1536, fo. 152.)

Will of Robert Page of Acle in Norfolk, husbandman, made Aprd 20, 1587. My body shall be buried in the church-yard at Acle. 1 bequeath to Edmund Page my son my houses, tenements and lands in Acle with all pertaining thereto, to him and his heirs forever. To Robert Page my son £10, to be paid 20s. yearly for ten years. To Cicely Page my daughter £5, 20s. to be paid each year until £5 is paid. To Margaret Page my daughter £5 to be paid in like manner. I will that Martha my wife shall have for life the house where John Taylor now dwelleth, and 1 Os. yearly, to be paid 5s. half yearly or as she may need. Also the " hole " furniture, one table now in the house where Gosling dwelleth, etc. All the rest of my goods, cattells, implements and stuff of household I bequeath to the disposition of my executor, and I appoint Edmund Page my son my sole executor. Witnesses : Peter Downhill, Ralph Cootes, John Plum, William Smith, William Johnson, and John Downing, Proved in Acle, May 15, 1587, by the executor. (Archdeaconry Court of Norwich, Barnes, 1587.)

Will of Robert Page of Ormesby, Co. of Norfolk, husbandman, made July 1, 1617. My body shall be buried in the churchyard of the parish of Ormesby St. Margaret's. To the sd church of St. Margaret's 12d. To Marga- ret Page my wife my house and land with all appurtenances thereto belong- ing, situate and being in Acle in the Co. of Norfolk for the term of her life.

182 E'^^jUsh Ancestry of Hohert Page [April

After her decease the sd house and land and all appurtenances thereto belonging to Robert Page my son, he paying all such legacies in such manner as is hereafter mentioned. To Thomas Page my son £5, to be paid by the said Robert Page two years after the decease of Margaret my wife. To Rebecca my daughter £5, to be paid by the sd Robert Page four years after the decease of Margaret my wife. To Henry Page my son £5, to be paid b}^ the sd Robert Page six years after the decease of Margaret my wife. If it happen the said Robert Page my son does not pay the aforesaid legacies in manner and form aforesaid, my will and mind is that he or she who shall be unjsaid their legacy shall reenter and possess the aforesaid house and land with all belonging until the "fearme" of the aforesaid house and land in Acle shall satisfy and pay their aforesaid legacy of £5. To Francis my son £7, Margaret my wife to pay it in ■manner following, viz. 40s. when the sd Francis attain the age of 21 years, and £5 when he shall attain the age of 24 years. My will is that my wife Margaret shall enter into two several bonds unto the sd Francis for the payment of the said seven pounds within five days after my death. The rest of my goods and chattels, movables and immovables, unbequeathed, I give to Margaret my wife whom I make sole executrix, to pay my debts and funeral charges and prove my will within one month of my death. If she shall refuse, then 1 ordain Francis my son to be my sole executor and Margaret my wife to be void. Any of my children departing this life before their legacy is due, their legacy shall be divided among the survivors. If Robert my son depart this life before Margaret my wife, then I will my son Thomas have the house and land in Acle and pay the aforesaid legacies that Robert should have paid. Witnesses : Ralph Smith, William Lar- wood, and Edward Boughton. Proved July 23, 1617, by the executrix. (Archdeaconry Court of Norwich, 1617.)

Will of Francis Page of Ormesby ^t. Margarett in Norfolk, husband- man, February 4, 1666. To Rebekah Rix my sister my piece of ground lying in Ormesby on the north of the tenement where I now dwell, with all the rights and appurtenances thereto belonging, which I purchased of Clement Harcocke, deceased, estimated to be about five roods, to her and her heirs forever. To my said sister all my goods whatsoever, and I ap- point her sole executrix. The mark of Francis Page. Witnesses : William Worde, and William Bryspoole. Proved at Norwich, April 5, 1667, by the executrix. (Archdeaconry Court of Norwich, 1666-7.)

From the foregoing wills the line of descent appears to be as follows :

1. Robert^ Page of Acle, co. Norfolk, husbandman, born before 1550,

died between 20 Apr. and 15 May 1587. He married Martha ,

who was living 20 Ajir. 1587, at the date of her husband's will, as were the following children :

i. Edmund^, inherited the homestead in Acle, and was appointed executor 15 May 1587.

2. ii. Robert. iii. CiCKLY. iv. Margaret.

2. Robert^ Page {Roherf) of Acle and of Ormsby St. Margaret, co- Norfolk, husbandman, was born as early as 1577. He died at Orms. by between 1 and 23 July 1617, and was probably buried in the churchyard of Ormsby St. Margaret.

1912] English Ancestry of Robert Page 183

" Roberte Page & Margrett Goodwynge " [Goodwin] were mar- ried in the parish of Hemblington, 16 July 1598 (Norfolk Parish Register Marriages, vol. 1 p. 22). As Hemblington is only four miles from Acle, and as this Page was the only person of the name there married, he is probably the Robert Page of Acle. Margaret Good- win was perhaps the daughter or sister of Francis Goodwin of Hemblington in 1585. Children : 3. i. Robert^ Page, b. abt. 1604.

ii. Thomas, probably not the Thomas Page, a " gentleman," who was at

Saco m the Province of Maine from 1637 to 1641. iii. Eebecca, bapt. at Ormsby St. Michael, 16 May 1608 ; ra. Rix,

Margaret betw. 4 Feb. 1666 and 5 Apr. 1667, probably leaving no

descendants.

3. Robert* Page {Rohert\ RoherO), born about 1604, who was to inherit the Page homestead in Acle after his mother's death, emigrated to

New England in 1637. He married, about 1628, Lucy , who

died at Hampton 12 Nov. 1665, aged 58 years ; and he died there 26 Sept. 1679, aged 75 years. The family lived at Salem, Mass., from 1637 to 1639, after which year they lived at Hampton. Children :

i. Margaret*, b. abt. 1630; lived at Hampton; d. 13 July 1699.

ii. Francis, b. abt. 1633; d. at Hampton, 15 Nov. 1706.

iii. Susanna, b. abt. 1635.

iv. Rebecca, bapt. at Salem 1 Sept. 1639; d. 27 May 1673.

V. Thomas, bapt. at Salem 1 Sept. 1639 ; d. 8 Sept. 1686.

vi. Hannah, b. abt. 1642 ; d. 6 Aug. 1704.

vii. Mary, b. abt. 1644 ; d. 8 Mar. 1700.

On 24 June 1673, Robert Page of Hampton conveyed land by a deed in which he called Edward Colcord of Hampton his brother and Colcord's wife Ann his sister. The author of the Colcord Gen- ealogy published in 1910, p. 7, states that Edward Colcord married Ann Page. The foregoing pedigree shows that there was no Ann Page for him to marry. According to the Genealogy, Ann Colcord was the mother of ten children born between 1641 and 23 July 1667. From this fact she must have been born between 1621 and 1626. As the father of Robert Page of Hampton died before 23 July 1617, she could not have been his posthumous daughter. She may have been a half sister to Robert Page, or a sister or half sister to his wife Lucy, or Lucy may have been a sister or half sister to Edward Colcord. It is clear that Colcord's wife Ann was not Ann Page. She may have been Ann Wadd, aged 15 years in 1637.

The fact that Robert Page of Ormsby, 1617, was the son of Robert Page of Acle, 1587, appears to be clear from the fact that the Ormsby man owned a home in Acle in 1617. The inquisitiones post mortem, if preserved, would probably give more light on this point.

The foregoing and other data seem to indicate that the Acle family is not recently descended from the Saxthorpe family of this surname.

Watertown Train-Band, 1652,— In the Register for October, 1849, vol. 3, p. 401, is a '^ List of Names of those who tooli the Oath of Fidelity," from the Records of the Middlesex County Court. The list is correct, and the original document from which it was made has been found among the files of the court. It contains these words, which should have been embodied in the Records :

1912]

JSTotes 187

" Let this honord Court know that the traine band of Watertown have chosen Lieutenant Mason to be our Captain, and Sergent Peerce to be our Lieutenant ; here is also the names of certaine men whom upon this occasion have taken the Oath of Fidelity."

In the Middlesex County Court Records, vol. 1, p. 302, are the words : " The Names of Such Persons as have Taken the Oath of Fidelity, 1652," but said nothing of their military service. Captain Hugh Mason was given his com- mission May 5, 1652, and the following names are a part, at least, of his " Train Band " :

English Ancestry of Henry Adams. — In the Register, vol. 59, pp. 320-22, data was given suggesting that Henry Adams of Braintree, Mass., came from Kingweston, co. Somerset, the transcripts of the registers of that parish showing the baptism of a John Adams, son of Henry, on 4 Dec. 1622. The theory is much strengthened by the fact that the transcripts of the registers of that parish also have the baptism of Edward, son of Henry Adams, on 19 Apr. 1629, an entry evidently overlooked in the original research. This record applies well to Edward Adams,* son of Henry of Braintree, who was married about 1652.

An examination of a few of the transcripts of Compton Dundon (the parish adjoining Kingweston on the west) gave the following Adams items, so it may be that a complete examination of them would be profitable :

Margery dau. of William Adams, bap. 10 May 1629

James son of John Addams and Mary, bap. 9 Sept. 1635

William son of Henry Addams and Joane, bap. 28 Feb. 1635-6

William son of Henry Addams, bur. 26 Mar. 1636

John son of Henry Addams, bur. 30 Aug. 1636

Richard sou of William Adams and Joane, bap. 20 Jan. 1636/7.

Mary dau. of Henry Addams and Joane, bap. 20 Aug. 1637

Richard son of John Addams and Mary, bap. 19 Nov. 1637

Richard son of William Addams, bur. 20 Mar. 1637/8

James son of John Addams, bur. 16 Dec. 1639

Hugh Jones, Elizabeth Jones, James Abbot, John Vining. — The registers of Wincanton, co. Somerset (which begin in 1636), show the baptisms of these emigrants, who came together to New England about 1651 (see Register, vol. 61, p. 150) :

CANNEY-WiNGATE-PAmE.— A 1619 Nortou and Bill bible, which has come down through five Joshuas Wingate, having come to the first Wiugate with his second wife, the widow Canney, contains three records of her Canney children, disagreeing in dates, of which one, entered by a good penman after aU the chil- dren were l)oru, is as follows :

Sarah Cenny was bor 3 of Augst 1667

Martha Cenny [Mathew Canny in earlier record] was bor 5 Febr 1669

Mary Cenny ber January 17 1672

Lydia Cemiy 26 August 1673

Thomas Cenny 1 November 1675

Samuel Ceimy 24 May 1677

Earlier entries read :

" Thomas Canny his Book god Giu hun grace therein to Looke "

" Thomas Chauny his bibell"

" Thomas Canny mared in octo . . . one the thirth [third] day 1666 "

The name " Sarah Pain" entered in an ancient hand at the top of one of the record pages indicates how the name Paine got into the Wingate family. Richard Paine of Newichewanock, shipwright, was one of the bondsmen of the widow Sarah Wingate, 1688. Earlier, 1678, Mr. Richard Paine was of Great Island. He died in'Charlestown 29 Mar. 1708, aged 72. She had died in Boston 23 Dec. 1707. Wymau's Charlestown gives his will in which he remembers his "son-in-law" J. Wingate and "daugliter in law Abigail wife of Samuel Kenny, trunkmaker of Boston," and makes his heir his nephew Thomas Paine, ropemaker, of Rotherdale, co. Surry, England. This sliows what became of John Wingate's youngest daugliter; the i3oston records give the marriage of Samuel Kenny and Abigail Winget 16 Nov. 1704, and the births of eight children, 1705-1721.

An unsuccessful attempt has been made to verify the statement in Dow's Hampton that Sarah Canney-Wingate-Paine was daughter of Anthony Taylor. But as two of her grandchildren were living in Mr. Dow's youth, and as Mr. Dow was himself sprung from the marriage of John Moulton and Lydia Taylor, 23 Mar. 1666, we may accredit his circumstantial statements to reliable tradition. Mr. Dow's material consisted in part of early tradition of the very highest value, in part of guessed-together vital records of Hampton uncorrected by reference to the county records, and in part of contributed matter of mixed value. It is important that his original papers should be placed in a safe depository. For instance, his flat statement that the name of the wife of the famous Edward Gove was Hannah Titcomb has been challenged. If this was one of his early recorded traditions it is of high authority, for circumstantial traditions must have come down regarding this man's sensational career and what his Avife did during his imprisonment. On the other hand, if Mr. Dow accepted the statement on the authority of a correspondent it may be worthless.

One of the Canney daughters, presumably the eldest, was married before 12 Mar. 1683/4, when John Wingate made his will, and the others may afterwards have been married : Martha to Benjamin Nason, 30 June 1687 ; Mary to John Twombly, 18 Apr. 1687; Lydia to Tobias Hanson [Register, vol. 6, p. 330].

The name " Channey Smith" is scribbled in the margin of one of the record pages, and one might suppose him to be a descendant of Thomas Cenny, Canny or Channy ; but better judgment is that the youth was the same who afterwards as Dr. Cheney Smith of Dover practiced there as early as 1735. He seems to have been the Cheney Smith born at Ipswich 21 Mar. 1712, grandson of Hannah (Cheney) Smith of Newbury. The suggestion tliat the Cheneys of Newbury and the Canueys of Dover were of the same family leads into the deep

1912]

ITotes 189

swamp of early orthoepy. The general substitution of " a " for " e " interfered with the rule for the aspiration of '' c " before certain vowels. Cheney on Martha's Vineyard is spoken Chain-ny to this day, and a Dover deed as late as 1736, when it seems certain that "ch" had settled down to its modern sound, spelt the first Thomas Canney's name Chancy. On the other hand, several con- temporary entries of Canney read Kenny. Probably the sound as well as the spelling wabbled.

Later records are : Joshua Wing" born 7 Sept 17[10?] ; Joshua Winget Junr married 19 day . . .; Ann Wmget born 21 May 1736; Joshua Winget^Sd born 14 Oct 1737 [on another page 1738]. The bible evidently came down through John^ Wiugate, Col. Joshua,'^ Joshua,^ Joshua.* The latter dying childless it must have gone to his cousin Joshua Wiugate of Hallowell, then to his son Gen. Joshua Wingate of Portland, who probably saved it from destruction by having it finely rebound in calf. Charles Thornton Libby,

Historical Intelligence

Norfolk Pamilies. — Mr. Walter Rye has prepared for publication by sub- scription in five parts "Norfolk Families: Past and Present, their Origin and Arms (if any)." This work will contain a condensed account of the origin and history of every name of note in the County, in all about 2,300, and will com- prise critical remarks on all doubtful pedigrees and arms, and notes (many un- published) on all noteworthy Norfolk families and persons. Parts 1 and 2 (now ready) contain A to He, and refer to about 1030 families, their pedigrees, and arms. For further particulars address Messrs. Goose & Son, 2 The Hay- market, Norwich, England.

British Record Society.— In a letter received from Mr. Thomas M. Blagg, the General Editor of the Society, he states that " in Mr. G. E. Cokayne, whose recent death you will have heard of, the Society has lost its strongest support, for the late Clarencieux King of Arms subsidised some of its most useful work. ... If, therefore, the utility and output of the Society ai'e to be maintained, it is essential that we should have a considerable accession of subscribers in 1912." Mr. Blagg asks for the support of the Society's work by individuals and libraries, mentioning that subscribers receive an abundant return in printed matter, and that the more subscribers the more material each will receive, as the entire income is expended each year on the Society's work. Attention is called to the advertisement in this number.

The Society of Genealogists of London. — The Second Quarterly Report, December 1911, has been received and shows the Society to have made rapid strides since its oi'ganization. The Society is collecting printed and manuscript volumes, and documents, for safe keeping. Various committees have been formed to extend the useful work of the Society, such as forming a consolidated index of names in the shape of a card index, an index of pedigrees in print or mss., of monumental inscriptions, of parish registers and marriage licences, of fly-leaf inscriptions in family bibles, of records of migration and change of resi- dence, of local records and family associations. Committees to deal with Irish, Scottish, and Welsh records are in course of formation. The Society, among other gifts, has recently received transcripts of 27 unprinted Cornish registers on index slips.

For further particulars in regard to the scope of the Society's work and terms of membership, address the Hon. Secretary, 227 Strand, London, W.C, England.

Genealogies in Preparation. — Persons of the several names are advised to furnish the compilers of these genealogies with records of their own families and other information which they think may be useful. We would suggest that all facts of interest illustrating family history or character be communicated, especially service under the U. S. Government, the holding of other offices, gi'ad- uation from college or professional schools, occupation, with places and dates

HON. JOHN TAGGAKD BLODGETT, A.M.

By Amasa Mason Eaton, A.M., LL.B.

John Taggard Blodgett, a resident member of the New Eng- land Historic Genealogical Society from 1906, and elected its Vice- President for Rhode Island at the annual meeting preceding his death, was born in Belmont, Massachusetts, May 16, 1859, the son of William Alfred and Anna Maria (Taggard) Blodgett, his line of descent from Thomas' Blodgett, born in England in 1605, who came from London, England, to Boston, Massachusetts, in the Increase in 1635, and settled at Cambridge, being through David,'' Thomas,^ Joseph, "^ Jonathan,^ Jabez,® Alfred,^ to William Alfred,* his father. His great-great-grandfather Jonathan Blodgett of Hudson, New Hampshire, answered the "Lexington Alarm," April 19, 1775, and served later as a private in a New Hampshire regiment. He was a great-grandson of William Taggard of Hills- borough, New Hampshire, ensign and lieutenant in the Second New Hampshire Regiment, 1776-1780 ; and also the great-grandson of Bartholomew Trow of Charlestown, Massachusetts, a member of "The Boston Tea Party," a minute man at Lexington April 19, 1775, lieutenant in Colonel Thomas Gardiner's regiment at Bunker Hill June 17, 1775, and captain in the 25th Massachusetts Regiment at the siege of Quebec in 1776. He was a great-great-grandson of Hezekiah Welch of Boston, second lieutenant of the frigate Boston in 1778 ; and he was the great-grandson of Ebenezer Welch of Boston, midshipman in the Revolution.

He received his early education in the public schools of Belmont and of Watertown, Massachusetts, and was graduated from the Watertown High School in 1875, and from Worcester Academy in 1876. He then entered Brown University, and was graduated with his class in 1880, being a member of the Society of Phi Beta Kappa, and receiving three years later from the college the degree of A.M.

Upon graduation he entered upon the study of law in the office of Benjamin N. Lapham in Providence. There he completed the

VOL. LXVI. 13

196 Johyi Taggard Blodgett [July

regular course of three years' study, and passing with brilliancy the bar examinations, he was admitted to practice. He was admitted to practice in the United States District Court in 1885, and in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in 1895, his law practice relating principally to corporation and banking business. He was United States Commissioner for the District of Rhode Island from 1890 to 1897 ; and he became supervisor of Federal elections in Rhode Island in 1891, remaining in that office until the repeal of the Federal election law, the duties of the office being to inspect the list of voters and to see that no fraud was practiced in Federal elections. The familiarity with election laws thus acquired led him to prepare and to carry through a state law relating to the appoint- ment and defining the powers and duties of the Board of Can- vassers and Registration. Upon its passage in 1895 he was ap- pointed a member and became its chairman, remaining so until he became a member of the Supreme Court of the state.

He was a member of the House of Representatives from the city of Providence from 1898 to 1900, and took a leading part while a member in drafting and securing the adoption of important legis- lation relating to the city. His experience upon the board of can- vassers led to his appointment in 1900 as chairman of a commission to revise the ward lines of the city of Providence.

He was chairman of the Rhode Island Commission to the James- town Exposition of 1907.

In 1900 he was elected by the General Assembly Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Rhode Island, remaining in that office until his death, at Providence March 4, 1912.

An examination of his opinions in the Rhode Island Reports illustrates his thoroughness of research, his scholarship, capacity for work, and independence of judgment, especially in some of the dis- senting opinions he delivered.

Besides his association with this Society, Judge Blodgett was a member of the Rhode Island Historical Society, the Rhode Island Society of Colonial Wars, and the Rhode Island Society of Sons of the American Revolution. He was also a corresponding member of The Colonial Society of Massachusetts, and contributed a paper upon "The Political Theory of the Mayflower Compact" to its Transactions in 1909.

He married first, March 28, 1883, Amelia Wilson Torrey, daugh- ter of Moses Eddy and Amelia (Wilson) Torrey of Providence, by whom he had a son, Moses Torrey, who died soon after his birth, and a daughter, Gwendolen. On August 15, 1900, he married his second wife. Amy de Lacy Bemiss, daughter of Dr. Samuel INIerrifield and Frances (Lockert) Bemiss of New Orleans, Louisiana, who survives him, with the daughter by his first wife, Gwendolen Blodgett.

NOTES ON THOMPSON FAMILIES OP CONNECTICUT

By Donald Lines Jacobus, M.A., of New Haven, Conn.

The earlier generations of the Thompson families of East Haven and of New Haven have been confused, and the published accounts are inaccurate without exception. The principal reason for this is that three John Thompsons in succession flourished in each family. Furthermore, considerable confusion has arisen with regard to their wives, due to the fact that John, Sr., of New Haven married Ellen Harrison, while the widow of the first John of East Haven married Thomas Harrison for her second husband. Consequently, Ellen has been assigned indiscriminately to three separate Johns. The follow- ing account of the two families may help to straighten matters.

The Thompson Family of East Haven 1. JoHN^ Thompson, "farmer," of East Haven, apparently was not related to the three brothers who founded the New Haven family. Ac- cording to Dod's East Haven Register, the name of his wife was Ellen, and this has been followed by every succeeding account, including that in the Tuttle Genealogy (1883). She is referred to merely as "the widow" in the County Court Records, where many of the early Probate entries are to be found ; but in the unindexed second volume of Proprietors' Records is a passage (p. 185) which distinctly calls her Dorothy. There is no reason for disputing the correctness of this record, especially as two of her children, Rebecca (Thompson) Thomas and Nathaniel Harrison, named a daughter Dorothy. John Thompson's estate was inventoried in 1655 (New Haven Probate Records, vol. 1, p. 58), and he probably died in that year. His widow was unmarried in February 1656 (Proprietors' Records, vol. 2, p. 185), but shortly thereafter married Thomas Harrison of Branford, as his first wife. By him she had two sons, Thomas Harrison, born 1 Mar. 1657, and Nathaniel Harrison, born 13 Dec. 1658. It would seem that she did not long survive, for on 29 Mar. 1666, Thomas Harrison married his second wife, Elizabeth Stent. On 27 Jan. 1671, the children of John Thompson, farmer, deceased, made application for the distribution of their father's estate, mentioning their "father-in-law" Thomas Harrison as its custodian. Their names are given as John the eldest son, Joseph, Hannah, Mary, Rebeckah, Abigaile and Sarah ; and Mathew Moulthrop and John Cooper, Jr., acknowledge the receipt of their wives' portions (New Haven County Court Records, vol. 1, p. 36). Children :

Joseph^ Thompson (Jolin^) removed to Wallingford, Conn., where he married first, about 1683, Mrs. Elizabeth (Lathrop) Royce, widow of Isaac, who was born in 1648, and in 1669 married Isaac • Royce, who died in 1682. She died before 1690, when Joseph Thompson is referred to as father-in-law of the Royce children (County Court Records, vol. 1, p. 178). He married secondly, 22 Nov. 1694, Mercy Jacob. In Feb. 1704, administration on the estate of Joseph Thomson of Wallingford, deceased, was granted to Mr. John Moss and to Joseph Thomson, son of the deceased ; and the estate was distributed to the widow Mercy, and to Joseph, John, and Hannah (County Court Records, vol. 2, p. 151). Children :

i. Joseph,^ b. abt. 1683; called Captain; m. 9 Feb. 1710, Hannah Clark, who d. 17 Aug. 1763 ; d. 7 Nov. 1756. This line was con- tinued through liis only son, Samuel.*

ii. John, b. 1 Feb. 1685 ; m. 23 June 1710, Sarah Culver, who d. 26 July 1751; d. 1763. He left descendants, who lived at Walling- ford and Goshen, through liis sous, Abel.'^ John, and Joseph.

The Thompson Family of New Haven.

The New Haven family of Thompson was founded by three brothers, William, Anthony, and John. An attempt has been made to connect them with the Thompson family of Lenham, co. Kent, England. This Lenham myth has been set forth as a certainty in the History of Goshen (by A. G. Hibbard, 1897), in the Marhs-Platt Ancestry (by E. J. Lines, 1902, pp. 46-50), and in several other accounts, and so far as known has never been refuted. Henry Thompson of Royton in Lenham married Dorothy Hony

wood, and died 20 Oct. 1648, leaving, with other issue, sons John, William, and Anthony. The coincidence of names would seem promising, and it is not strange that somebody hastily conjectured their identity with the emi- grants, but investigation overthrows the theory. According to William Berry's Pedigrees of the Families in the County of Kent (published in 1830, pp. 15-17), Anthony Thompson of Lenham was baptized 30 Aug. 1612, and died in England 13 Feb. 1682, leaving as heiress an only daughter. Moreover, John Thompson of Lenham was born in 1604, too early for John of New Haven, who was probably the youngest of the emigrant brothers. The Lenham brothers had three cousins, sons of Thomas Thomp- son of Pethem, co. Kent, likewise named John, William, and Anthony ; but this John was a knight, and died in 1645 without issue. Furthermore, the evidence of chronology tends to show that the emigrants could not de- scend from Henry of Lenham or Thomas of Pethem in the following gen- eration. At all events, the accepted pedigree must be abandoned.

1. William^ Thompson died unmarried in New Haven 24 Apr. 1683. In his wUl of 6 Oct. 1682 he calls himself "far stricken in years," and mentions his nephews Benjamin Broadly and brother Abraham Broadly ; nephew John Thompson, son of brother Anthony ; cousin John Thompson, Jr., son of nephew John abovesaid ; cousin William Thompson, son of nephew John abovesaid ; cousin Mary Lynes ; sister Ellen Thompson ; cousins Mary Lynes, Anna Broadlye, and Elizabeth Broadly e, daughters of sister Ellen Thompson ; Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Benjamin Broad- lye ; and cousins Bridgett Bowers, Anna Stanton, and Lydia Cruttenden (New Haven Probate Records, vol. 1, p. 192).

2. Anthony^ Thompson died Sept. 1648. In his will of 23 Mar. 1647 he mentions his eldest son ; second son, Anthony ; daughter Bridget which he had by former wife ; other daughters ; wife ; and brothers William and John (New Haven Probate Records, vol. 1, p. 33). He married first

; and secondly Katharine , who married for her

second husband, 14 July 1652, Nicholas Camp of MUford. The Proprie- tors' records contain several references to payment of portions to Anthony's children, by " Kattern Camp," the children mentioned being John, Hannah, Liddia, Ebenezer, Anthony, and Bridget (Proprietors' Records, vol. 2, pp. 91, 98, 114, 229).

Children by first wife :

ii. Anthony, b. Dec. 1634; d. at Milford 29 Dec. 1654. In his will of 26 Dec. 1654 he names his brother John Thompson; his eldest sister, his father's daughter by his own motlier ; and his sisters, daughters of his father by his mother-in-law, goodwife Camp (New Haven Probate Eecords, vol. 1, p. 55).

3. John^ Thompson, called " Senior " to distinguish him from his

nephew the '' Mariner," married, 25 Feb. 1650, Ellen Harrison, probably a sister of the Thomas Harrison who married the widow of John Thompson of East Haven. He died 14 Dec. 1674, and on

200 Thompson Families of Connecticut [July

9 June 1 675 " Ellin ye relict " presented the inventory of his estate, which was distributed to herself, to Samuel Lines in right of Mary his wife, to Abraham Bradlye in right of Hanna his wife, to Eliza- beth, and to "the younger daughter" (County Court Records, vol. 1, p. 86). His widow died 8 Apr. 1690, and in her will of Oct. 1689 she mentions her daughters Mary, Hannah, and Elizabeth, her sons-in-law Abraham and Benjamin Bradlye, and her grandchild Sarah daughter of her daughter Elizabeth (New Haven Probate Records, vol. 2, p. 41). Children :

i. Maky,* b. 24 Apr. 1652; m. (1) Nov. 1674, Samuel Lines, b. Apr.

mentioned in her uncle William's wUl. V. Sarah, b. 25 Mar. 1667 ; d. 1669.

4. John^ Thompson (2. Anthony^), called " Mariner," has usually been assigned a wife Ellen or Hellena (cf . History of Goshen, and Genea- logical History of Connecticut, 1911, p. 1000). This is an error, and the only wife of John who appears on record was Anne Vicars, or ViCARis. On 25 Feb. 1657, John Tompson entered an action against the estate of John Roberts, part of which was then in the hands of Mr. Wakeman, on the ground that there had been a treaty of marriage betwixt the said John Roberts and Ann Vicars (now wife to the said John Tompson), and that her former betrothed had by word of mouth left his estate to Ann (Hoadley, Records of the Juris- diction of New Haven, vol. 2, p. 198). It should be noted that John Wakeman's wife, Elizabeth Hopkins, had a first cousin Ann, daughter of Walter Vicaris (see the will of William Hopkins of Bewdley, Worcestershire, given in the Wahe7nan Genealogy, p. 30). John Thompson died 2 June 1707, and the inventory of "Mr. John Thompson, Marriner, late deed," was presented 28 Oct. 1707 (New Haven Probate Records, vol. 3, p. 116). In the absence of any distribution of the estate, it is difficult to place his daughters with certainty. Most of his land had been deeded in the later years of his life to his sons John, Joseph, Samuel, and William (New Haven Deeds, vols. 2 and 3). There is no difficulty in iden- tifying the first three, but there seems to have been considerable misapprehension as to the identity of William. This problem is considered below under William Thompson (no. 9). There is no proof that Ann Vicars was mother of all the children, but no other wife has been found. Children :

6. i. JoHN,3 b. 12 May 1657.

ii. Anne, m. 10 May 1688, Caleb Chidsey of East Haven, b. 20 Nov. 1661, d. 1713 ; she d. before 6 July 1693, when Caleb m. his second wife, Hannah Dickerman. She left no children; and there is no reason for assuming that she was daughter of '■^ John the mariner," except that it is difficult to place her anywhere else, and it seems

1912] Thompson Families of Connecticut 201

natural that he should have a daughter named for her mother. Perhaps she is identical with the unnamed child (iv.) below.

5. Ebenezer^ Thompson (2. Anthony^), born 15 Oct. 1648, settled at

Guilford, Conn., where he died in 1G76. He married, June 1671, Deborah Dudley, born 20 Sept. 1647, died before 1682, who married secondly Thomas Scranton of Guilford. In his will of 16 Aug. 1676 (inventory taken 6 Nov. 1676) he called himself about 28 years old, and named his wife Deborah, son John, and two brethren, John Tompson and Isaac Cruttenden (New Haven Pro- bate Records, vol. 1, pt. 2, p. %b). On 14 June 1682 is the fol- lowing record of the estate of Ebenezer Thompson : " the relict (afterwards married to Thomas Scranton, but since deceased) leav- ing a child of her first husband's (called John Thompson) in his minority, now about eight years old, the court appoints skipper John Thompson of New Haven, Isaac Cruttenden and Joseph Dudley of Guilford, guardians " (New Haven County Court Records, vol. 1, p. 135).

Children : i. Jabez,3 b. 16 Oct. 1672 ; d. young.

10. ii. John, b. Nov. 1674.

6. Lieut. John^ Thompson {John,'^ Anthony^), born 12 May 1657,

married, 9 May 1682, Rebecca Daniel, daughter of Stephen and Anna (Gregson), who was born 30 Jan. 1657, and appears to have been living as late as 1749. According to his gravestone, he died 15 Nov. 1711. Administration on his estate was granted 18 Dec. 1711, to the widow Rebecah and to Daniell Thomson, son of the deceased (New Haven Probate Records, vol. 3, p. 301). The estate was divided to the widow, Daniel the eldest son, Anne, Re- beckah, Elisabeth, John, and Anthony {Ibid, vol. 4, p. 55). Children :

i. Ann,* b. 20 Mar. 1683; m. 4 May 1711, Thomas Ives of North Haven, b. 22 Aug. 1683, d. 5 May 1767. Their descendants re- moved to Great Barrington, Mass.

iv. Elizabeth, bapt. 26 Apr. 1693; m. 31 Jan. 1716, John Bassett; d. 3 Sept. 1756.

V. John, b. 15 Oct. 1696 ; d. after 1712, without issue. On 22 July 1733, Thomas and Ann Ives, Caleb and Eebeckah Mix, John and Eliza- beth Bassett, and Anthony Thompson deeded to their brother Daniel Thompson all right in their father Thompson's and brother John Thompson's estates (New Haven Deeds, vol. 29, p. 520).

vi. Anthony, b. 22 Sept. 1700; resided at Mt. Carmel; m. (1) 20 Apr. 1727, Sarah Peck, b. 21 Mar. 1705; m. (2) Sarah Pardee, b. 5 Nov. 1719; d. abt. 1786. On 27 Apr. 1763, Anthony and Sarah Thompson deeded laud that their two brothers, Ebenezer and Benjamin Pardee, quitclaimed to Sarah (New Haven Deeds, vol. 26, p. 232). In his will of 23 Eeb. 1769 he named his present

202 Thompson Families of Connecticut [July

wife, and his kiusmau Autliouy sou of Jolau Thompson (New Haven Probate Records, vol. 15, p. 83). He evidently left no issue, aud during his lifetime deeded much of his property to his graudnephew Anthony (New Haven and Hamden Deeds).

7. Joseph^ Thompson {John,"^ Anthony^) of West Haven, born 4 Apr.

1664, died 14 Dec. 1711 (gravestone record). He was a sei'geant, and received by deed his father's West Haven property. He mar-j ried, 2 Feb. 1697, Elizabeth Smith, daughter of John and Grace (Winston), who was born 1 Aug. 1675, and died 14 Nov. 1743 (grave- stone record, West Haven) . Administration on tlie estate of " Clark " Joseph Thompson was granted to his widow 6 May 1712 (New Haven Probate Records, vol. 4, p. 36). The children's names are given as Anna, aged 14, Joseph, aged 9, Stephen, aged 5, and Jonathan, aged 3. An interesting deed granting a right of way, dated 1 Feb. 1770, names grantors Daniel Thomas, Asa Smith, Jonathan Thompson, Ebenezer Humphrevile and wife Fsther, John Johnson, Jr., and wife Mabel, Moses Pardee and wife Mary, Titus Beecher and wife Elizabeth, Bethia and Jeduthan Thompson, and Benajah Thomas (New Haven Deeds, vol. 30, p. 434). All of these, except the two Thomases, were heirs of Joseph Thompson through his sons Joseph and Stephen. Children :

i. Anna,'' b. 17 Eeb. 1697 ; m. 3 Feb. 1726, Ebenezer Clark, b. 5 Aug. 1695 ; d. before 1761.

The births of three children are recorded to them at New Haven : Ebenezer,'' 15 Jan. 1735; John, 18 Feb. 1737; Amy, 28 July 1739. The family removed to Scituate, Mass. On 20 Oct. 1756, Ebenezer Thompson, clerk, of Scituate, Mass., deeded land in West Haven (New Haven Deeds, vol. 20, p. 203).

8. Samuel^ Thompson (John,^ Anthony'^), horn 12 May 1669, died 26

Mar. 1749. He was a captain, and lived at Westville, but pur- chased property at Goshen, Conn., where several of his sons settled. He married, 14 Nov. 1695, Rebecca Bishop, daughter of James and Elizabeth (Tompkins), who was born 10 Dec. 1673, and died 5 Apr. 1734 (gravestone record). Children :

vii. JuDAH, b. 5 Oct. 1713. On 16 Aug. 1745, Samuel" Thompson deeded laud to his son Judah, of New Haven (New Haven Deeds, vol. 12. p. 440), but wliat became of him afterwards has not been ascer- tained. In the Second Congregational Church Records the mar- riage is recorded, 14 Feb. 1759, of a Judah Thompson to Sarah Morris, who was b. 15 Mar. 1737, tlie town records giving the birth of a daughter Bebecca in 1760, and the church records a son Judah., bapt. in 1764.

viii. Enos, b. 18 Aug. 1717; m. 2 Apr. 1741, Saeah Hitchcock. On 20 May 1752, Enos Thompson " of Smithfleld in the great nine part- ners in Dutchis County in ye province of New Yorlv " deeded land to Hannah Thompson of New Haven (New Haven Deeds, vol. 17, p. 57) . Children, recorded at New Haven : Israel,^ b. 7 Mar. 1742 ; Bebecca, b. 30 June 1744 ; Enos, b. 26 July 1746 ; Jesse, h. 14 Nov. 1749. A grandson, according to the Tuttle Genealogy (p. 704), was Enos Thompson Throop, governor of New York.

9. William' Thompson (John,'^ Anthony^) was born 17 Jan. 1674. That "John the mariner" had a son "William is proved by two deeds to the latter, and by mention of him in the will of William^ Thompson (no. 1) in 1682; but there has been considerable doubt as to his identity, as there were two Williams who could be eligible. One, called William, Sr., was a man of some importance, is called " joiner " and " surveyor " in deeds, and frequently had " Mr." prefixed to his name ; he married in 1682 Joanna Daniel, widow of John Glover, and died in 1741. The other, called William, Jr., married before 1708 Martha , and died in 1717. The ob- vious theory is that William, " Sr.," was one of the oldest sons of John, and that William, " Jr.," was son of William " Sr.," but this hypothesis, which is generally accepted, proves untenable. The chronology of William, Sr's, recorded family leaves no room for the birth of a son William. Moreover, William, Sr., deeded no land to William, Jr., nor did he mention him or his heirs in his will, wherein he made careful provision for his sons. Nor do the heirs of William, .Jr., aj^pear in deeds in which all the heirs of William, Sr., appear ; but there is positive evidence to prove that William, Jr., was son of John the mariner. First : William, son of John Thompson, was born 17 Jan. 1674, which is much too late for the birth of William, Sr. ; secondly : John the mariner deeded to his son William, along with other land, one-third part of his whole division and tract of land (1702), which projDerty was afterwards (1707) deeded away by William Thompson, husbandman (New Haven Deeds, vol. 3, pp. 21, 34), showing that John's son William was a farmer, whereas William, Sr., always appears as joiner or surveyor ; thirdly : the other land deeded by John the mariner to his son William (New Haven Deeds, vol. 3, pp. 21, 22) is to be found mentioned in the inventory of William, Jr. (New Haven Pro- bate Records, vol. 6, p. 1) ; and finally : Caleb Thompson, who is known to be a son of William, Jr., deeded land that was laid out to his father William Thompson, deceased, and other land that was laid out to his grandfather John Thompson, deceased (New Haven

204 Thompson Families of Connecticut [July

Deeds, vol. 8, p. 331). The only question that could remain is whether, as sometimes happened, John could have had two sons named William, but the evidence is against it, for in John's deed to "William he is referred to as his " son William." Also, the will of William^ Thompson (no. 1), wherein he mentioned his "cousin William, son of nephew John," would have distinguished between them if there had been two sons named William.

William, Jr., who died 13 Mar. 1717, married Martha ,

who died after 1755. His estate was not settled until 1730 (New Haven Probate Records, vol. 6, p. 1).

Children : ,

10. John® Thompson {Ebenezer,"^ Anthony^), born at Guilford Nov.

1674, removed to Branford, where he married, 23 Apr. 1702, Hannah Whedon, daughter of Thomas of Branford, who was born 21 July 1674. Several accounts, including the History of Goshen, state that after the death of Hannah he went to Wallingford, and married Sarah Culver in 1710, but the John who married Sarah Culver belonged to the East Haven family (no. 3, ii), and there is ample evidence that John of Branford was still living there as late as 1726 (County Court Records, vol. 3, p. 206). Whether he had another wife is not known, but by Hannah he had Children :

1. Deborah,* b. 9 Mar. 1703.

ii. Thankful, b. 7 July 1705 ; m. William Fancher of Waterburv, who d. 20 Aug. 1759 ; d. 19 Aug. 1759. William and Thanliful Faucher of Waterbury deeded right to laud from grandfather Thomas Whedon of Branford, dec'd, by mother Hannah Thomson, dec'd, daughter to said Whedon (Branford Deeds, vol. 7, p. 516).

11. Ens. Daniel* Thompson {John^ John^ Anthony^), born 31 Oct.

1685, lived in the parish of Amity, now the town of Woodbridge, Conn. He married, 16 Jan. 1717, Mary Ball, daughter of John and Sarah (Glover), born 22 Oct. 1694, died 11 May 1776, aged 82 (gravestone record, Woodbridge). He died 26 Nov. 1766 (grave- stone record, New Haven), and his will of 10 Apr. 1758, proved

1912] Thompson Families of Connecticut 205

Mar. 1767, referred to his father John Thompson, deceased, and named his wife Mary, eldest son John, sons James, Jabez, Daniel, and Eliphalet, daughter Ann, and granddaughter Mabel the daugh- ter of his son John. His wife, and sons James and Daniel, are named as executors ; but Mary and Daniel appeared and refused the trust (James seems to have died), so administration was granted to the son Jabez of Derby (New Haven Probate Records, vol. 10, p. 283).

Children : i. Ann,* b. 4 Nov. 1717; d. at Woodbridge abt. 1790. In her will of 27 July 1790, proved 16 Aug. 1790, she mentioned her father Daniel Thompson, deceased, and left her property to her nephew Thad- deus Thompson (New Haven Probate Kecords, vol. 16, p 647).

On 5 Apr. 1768, Daniel Thomp- son of Farmiugton deeded to his brother John and sister Ann of New Haven, and brother Jabez of Derby, all right in Amity from his father (New Haven Deeds, vol. 29, p. 402). He appears to have returned to Woodbridge from Farmington, for in 1785 he deeded land to his sou Thaddeus (Woodbridge Deeds, vol. 1, p. 77).

ix. Eliphalet, b. 25 Mar. 1734; d. before Dec. 1760, when adminis- tration on his estate was granted to his brother Daniel, Jr. (New Haven Probate Records, vol. 9, p. 438).

xi. Joel, b. 23 Nov. 1737 ; not named in his father's will.

12. Joseph^ Thompson {Joseph,^ John^ Anthony^), born 5 Mar. 1703, lived at West Haven. He married, 15 May 1728, Hannah Smith, daughter of Nathan and Hannah (Brown), a first cousin of his mother's. He died 5 July 1745 (gravestone record, West Haven), and on 16 July 1745 administration on his estate was granted to the widow, Hannah (New Haven Probate Records, vol. 6, p. 629). In 1759, the estate of Ens. Joseph Thompson was divided to the widow, and surviving children (the eldest son being dead without issue) Jeduthan and Mabel Thompson, Esther Humphrevile, and Mary Thompson {Ibid, vol. 9, pp. 227, 256).

The William Thompson Family

1. Vs^'iLLiAM^ Thompson of New Haven, called "Sr.," has generally been considered a son of "John the mariner," of the foregoing family. Under William" Thompson (no. 9, preceding), I have stated the facts that invalidate that claim. Since three of his daughters married Stratford men, it might be conjectured that he sprang from the Thompson family of that town, but there seems to be no place for him tliere. His early appearance in New Haven, the name William, and the fact that his wife's sister mar- ried a son of John the mariner, all tend to connect him with the New Haven family, though there seems to be no place for him there, and for the present he is left unplaced..

He is called joiner and surveyor in deeds, and the County Court Records show that he was frequently called on for jury duty and for surveying. He was styled " Mr.," and was appointed Master of the Excise for New Haven County (County Court Records, vol. 2, p. 394 ; p. 486 in the modern copy). On 28 Dec. 1682, he married Mrs. Joanna (Daniel) Glover, daughter of Stephen and Anna (Gregson), and widow of John, born 1 Sept. 1652. She married first, 7 Dec. 1671, John Glover, who was baptized 8 Oct. 1648, and died 29 Jan. 1679, by whom she had four children, two of whom also married in Stratford.

William^ died before 6 Apr. 1741, when (the person nominated in the will being dead) administration on his estate was granted to Josiah Thomp- son. In his will of 2 July 1728 he named his wife Joanna, and daughters Jane, Abigail, and Sarah ; his son Josiah was to be provided for by deed, and Stephen had been given his portion, so Benjamin was to receive the residue. His wife and son Benjamin were named executors (New Haven Probate Records, vol. 6, p. 329). Children : i. Jane,2 b. 29 Oct. 1683; m. 22 Dec. 1707, John Moss of Stratford,

b. 7 Jan. 1677, d. 1724; d. 28 Sept. 1743. ii. Abigail, b. 18 Oct. 1685; m. 11 Dec. 1707, Eichard Hubbell of

Stratford, b. 25 Jan. 1684. iii. Mary, b. 13 Sept. 1687 ; m. 4 Mar. 1708, John Hitchcock, b. 28 Jan. 1685, d. 14 Oct. 1753; d. 27 Feb. 1709. 2. Iv. Josiah, b. 31 Dec. 1689.

V. Sarah, bapt. 19 Jan. 1692 ; m. (1) 15 Nov. 1715, Timothy Fairchild of Stratford, b. 9 Dec. 1687, d. 23 Nov. 1726 ; m. (2) 12 July 1729,

Ens. Welliam Peat, b. 1 May 1694, d. 1761.

vi. Stephen, b. 12 July 1695; d. unm. 6 Ang. 1732 (gravestone record). On 6 Apr. 1733, administration on the estate was granted to Josiah Thompson, brother of the deceased (New Haven Probate Records, vol. 6, p. 107). On 29 May 1739, Richard and Abigail HubbeU, "William and Sarah Peat, and Jane Moss of Stratford, and John Hitchcock, Jr., of New Haven, coheirs of the estate of Stephen Thompson, deceased, deeded to Jolm Umphrevile their right in laud where their aforesaid deceased brother lived, and since his death conveyed by their brother Josiah Thompson to said John UmphrevUe (New Haven Deeds, vol. ii, p. 45).

vii. Benjamin, b. 12 July 1698 ; d. unm. 20 Sept. 1734 (gravestone record) .

2. Josiah^ Thompson ( William^), born 31 Dec. 1689, died 5 May 1774 (First Congregational Church Records). He married (not recorded) Elizabeth Miles, daughter of Lieut. Richard and Hannah (Easton), who was born 1 0 Sept. 1695. She is called Elizabeth Thompson in her father's will, dated 24 Jan. 1756 (New Haven Probate Records, vol. 8, p. 560). The death of Elizabeth, wife of Josiah Thompson, aged 75, is recorded in the First Congregational Church Records, 1 Mar. 1771. It is difficult to trace his children. Children :

i. Mary,^ m. 24 Aug. 1738, Daniel Talmadge. Her place in the fam- ily seems likely from the names of her children : William, Josiah, and Elizabeth.

ii. Elizabeth, m. 23 Nov. 1740, Timothy Andrews, b. 1 Apr. 1713, d. 1742. Timothy Thompson was guardian to her son Elijah (New Haven Probate Records, vol. 9, p. 165).

iii. Timothy. On 12 June 1762, Josiah Thompson deeded land to his sou Timothy (New Haven Deeds, vol. 26, p. 391).

iv. Sarah, m. Aug. 1760, Richard Hood. On 23 Feb. 1771, Josiah Thompson deeded land to his son-in-law Richard Hood (New Haven Deeds, vol. 31, p. 377).

THE SOLOMON JOHNSON FAMILY

By Mks. Ell wood D. Kimball of Wichita, Kans.

1. Solomon^ Johnson, whose parentage and ancestry have not been found, was in Sudbury, Mass., 3 Feb. 1639, when his twin sons, Joseph and Nathaniel, were born. His wife, Elinor, whose parentage and ancestry are unknown, was certainly the mother of an older son, John (Middlesex Co. Deeds, vol. 20, p. 697, wherein Elinor calls John her son), born 1629 or " thereabout," and probably the mother of the oldest son, Solomon, born 1627 or "thereabout" (deposition, Middlesex Co. Court Files, Apl. Ses- sion, 1686, Stone vs Bemis). He was an original proprietor of Sudbury, having received twenty-eight acres in the first, second, and third divisions of land (Sudbury Town Records, Bk. 1, pp. 21 and 52). He was made freeman after his son Solomon took the oath in 1645.* Having bought land in the Great River Meadow, West Sudbury, m 1651, he is called "Taylor of Watertown" at the date of sale of that land (Middlesex Co. Deeds, vol. 2, p. 45) in 1653, he then living at the " Watertown Farme or Cowpen " which he had leased on 1 Dec. 1651 for seven years, afterward extended two years. In 1 658 he received a grant of one hun- dred thirty acres in the " two mile strip " of Sudbury, and later was voted ten acres more on account of the highway running through (Sudbury Rec- ords, p. 52). This " new grant " he deeded before it was laid out, 25 Apr. 1658, to Solomon, Jr., in consideration of his full and free surrender of three hundred acres bought of Mr. Stephen Day of Cambridge (Middlesex Co. Deeds, vol. 3, p. 139).

*0n Sudbury Town Records the name of " Solomon Johnson" appears in the list of " Names of those that take ye oath July 9, 1643 or 5." Under this list is the list of those who " took ye oath of fidelity since." " Solomon Johnson Senr " is second on this latter list, then in the same hand and ink "Junr" is written after "Solomon Johnson " of the first list.

234 Solomon Johnson Family [July

He was an original proprietor of Marlborough, Mass., receiving a home lot of twenty-three acres, 1660 (Register, vol. LXII, p. 227). Later he received one-seventh undivided part of eleven meadows, his share in these meadows being indicated in his will, except such as were alienated by deeds, viz., in 1683 about five acres, in which he is described as " Solomon John- son Sr. Tailor," and in 1684 seven acres to his son John Johnson, in which Elinor relinquished her dower (Middlesex Co. Deeds, vol. 14, p. 328 ; and vol. 20, p. 697). He was one of the selectmen of Marlborough 1661-65 (Register LXU, pp. 336-39-41; and LXIII, 65, 118), and constable in 1663-4 (Ibid., pp. 59, 65, and 118). In 1663 his rate for the ministry in Marlborough was ten shillings, and that of his son John eleven shillings. In this connection note that in 1663 Solomon and John Johnson of "Mall- bury " were sued for rate due to the ministry in Watertown (Watertown Records, p. 80).

His death is entered briefly on the Marlborough Records, " Deacon John- son died June 1687." His will (Suffolk Co. Probate, vol. 10, p. 127), dated 28 Mar. 1685, and probated 12 Oct. 1687, provides for wife " Elenor " and son Nathaniel ; and Nathaniel's three sons Joseph, Samuel, and John ; mentions son Solomon, and recites giving him " long since " his portion ; also son John, having already a portion ; bequeaths the remainder of his estate to his " Sonne-in-law John Barnes " ; and makes his " sonn's John Johnson, John Barnes Senr and Nathaniel Johnson Executors." The in- ventory of his estate totaled in land £100, and the dearth of personal estate, amounting only to £5, 16s., seems to indicate that at the time of his decease he was living with one of his children.

2. Solomon* Johnson (Solomon}), born about 1627, died at Sudbury 26 Aug. 1690. He was an early proprietor of Lancaster, Mass., for in 1652 he deeded his forty acres in " Nashaway Plantation" (Middlesex Co. Deeds, vol. 1, p. 41) to Stephen Day for the three hundred acres (Middlesex Co. Deeds, vol. 1, p. 42) exchanged in 1658 (Middlesex Co. Deeds, vol. 13, p. 590) for his father's New Sudbury grant of one hundred forty acres, upon which last he probably lived. In 1664 he alienated a moiety of this one hundred forty acres (Middlesex Co. Deeds, vol. 3, p. 325), but in 1685 possessed the seventy acres remaining, as a deed from Benjamin Crowe of Stowe to Joseph Rice of Marlborough recites that the land sold (originally that of John Wood, Sr., and John Rutter, Sr.) is bounded southward with land of Solomon Johnson, Junr. He

married twice: first Hannah , who died 4 June 1685 ; and

secondly, 1 Feb. 1686-7, "Hannah Crefts of Natomy" (Water- town Records, p. 96), perhaps the Hannah Johnson who married

3. JoHN^ Johnson {Solomon}), born about 1629, undoubtedly was with

his parents in Sudbury as early as 1639. He removed to Lancaster in 1654 (Sudbury Records, Book B). He married, 19 Nov. 1657, Deborah Ward, daughter of William of Sudbury and Marlbor- ough. On 27 Apr. 1658, his father deeded him one-half the three hundred acres bought of Mr. Stephen Day. He was an original proprietor of Marlborough, receiving sixty-eight acres in 1660, and swamp and meadow land in 1663 and '65. Deborah, his wife, died 9 Aug. 1697, aged 60; and he died at Marlborough 4 May 1713, intestate. No administration of his estate is found in Middlesex Co. Probate, but a deed dated 11 Feb. 1714 (Middlesex Co. Deeds, vol. 17, p. 301) recites that Daniel Johnson of Marlborough is one of the children and heirs of John Johnson late of Marlborough, de- ceased, who was a son of Solomon Johnson, deceased, late of Marl- borough but formerly of Sudbury and one of the primitive grantees of said Sudbury, and proceeds to quit claim " any remaining rights " of his father, John Johnson, in said Solomon's Sudbury real estate. Daniel signed the above also in behalf of his brother, John Johnson, and sister Elizabeth wife of Joseph Witherby. No record appears of any children born the first fifteen years of his marriage. Children, recorded at Marlborough :

i. John,' b. 21 Jan. 1672 ; d. 23 Dec. 1676, " scalded to death." 6. ii. Daniel, b. 5 Apr. 1675.

He received by wiU the major portion of his father's land, but could not alienate it since it was devised to his three sons, Joseph, Samuel, and John, who in Jan. 1704/5 joined in an instrument of partition of the same (Middlesex Co. Deeds, vol. 20, p. 516).

5. Caleb* Johnson {Solomon,'^ Solomon^), born at Sudbury 31 Oct.

1658, died there 1 Dec. 1715. He married, 9 July 1684, Aones Bent, daughter of Peter and Elizabeth of Sudbury and Marlbor- ough, who died 4 June 1729. He with wife Agnes and sister Patience Bent conveyed in 1 697 to Peter Bent their brother " any and all estate " of their late father Peter Bent of Marlborough (Middlesex Co. Deeds, vol. 13, p. 578). Caleb Johnson with Thomas Brown and Thomas Drury bought the " Glover Farm " 17 June 1697. Caleb's estate was administered by the widow Agnes and sons Caleb and Solomon (Middlesex Co. Probate, no. 8938), and inventoried £567. Land which had belonged to the widow Agnes, on 6 Apr. 1730/1, was conveyed by Caleb Johnson of Framingham, Solomon Johnson of Sudbury, widow Hannah Burk of Stowe, Daniel Howe of Framingham, and Ebenezer Gleason of Framingham, all in the County of Middlesex, to their brother Charles Johnson, wheelwright of Sudbury, in consideration of £300.

He married at Sudbury, 6 June 1716, Abigail Goodenow, daughter of John, and 11 Feb. 1736/7 Solomon and Abigail Johnson of Worcester deeded all their interest in the estate of " our hon'd Father Mr. John Goodenow late of Sudbury " (Middlesex Co. Deeds, vol. 49, p. 558) . He was still " of Sudbury " when he deeded six acres in Framingham 4 May 1720 (Middlesex Co. Deeds, vol. 25, p. 384). The brothers, Caleb* and Solomon, appear to have been living side by side in Framingham when they sold to Thomas Kendall in 1729, for the deed recites the messuage contained two mansion houses, etc. (Middlesex Co. Deeds, vol. 44, p. 450), but Solomon is styled "of Sudbury " when he joined in conveying his interest in his mother's estate, 6 Apr. 1730/1, and " of Sudbury, Yeoman," when he bought of Moses Rice, 20 Feb. 1731, one hundred acres in Worcester " near to a place Mt. Stearnes," known as Tatnick or Tatnuck (Wor- cester Co. Deeds, vol. 4, p. 571). In 1744 he bought of Samuel Waldo sixty acres lying west and adjoining the above (Worcester Co.

Deeds, vol. 36, pp. 37, 379 ; vol. 52, p. 44 ; and vol. 121, p. 341). In 1773 he was adjudged non compos upon the petition of his sons Daniel and Solomon, and the Court appointed Peter and Micah guardians. He died 9 Jan. 1782, and Abigail his wife died in Feb. 1784.

[The Rolfe family is of great antiquity in Wiltshire. At a manor-court at Urclifont, held 7 May 10 Richard II [1387], in a list of twenty-five tenants that delivered oaks from Coukwod, appears William- Rolfe, credited with one trunk. (Wilts. Notes and Queries, vol. 4, p. 450.) Downton, Whiteparish, Plaitford, Landford, Redlinche, Wellow, etc., are close to- gether in the extreme southeastern corner of Wiltshire, and about eight to ten miles southeast of Salisbury.

With only the data now at hand, all the persons in the foregoing wills and register entries cannot be grouped together; but it is certain that Henry Rolfe, baptized in 1585, and John Rolfe, baptized in 1589, sons of John Rolfe of Whiteparish, the testator of 1 624/5, were the brothers who settled in New England about 1638 ; and it is also certain that their sister Mary Rolfe, wife of Richard Whittier of Sarum or Salisbury, England, was the mother of Thomas Whittier, who was born about 1620, came to New England in 1638 with his uncle John Rolfe, and became the pro- genitor of the Whittiers of America.

It is evident that it was Henry Rolfe, born in 1585 (and not John Rolfe, as erroneously recorded in the Whiteparish registers), who married in 1621 a kinswoman. Honor Rolfe ; the latter was apparently the daughter of

Richard Rolfe of Downton, the testator of 1598, by his wife Agnes Rolfe (daughter of the widow Alice Rolfe, the testator of 1604). This Agnes Rolfe married (secondly) John Rice. Thomas Rolfe, the testator of 1629, and Henry Rolfe, whose estate was administered in 1617, were probably brothers of this Agnes Rolfe. It is clear that the mother of Richard Rolfe, the testator of 1598, married (secondly) William Sanders ; perhaps this Richard Rolfe was son of the Richard Rolfe whose estate was administered in 1567, the latter being son of Henry Rolfe, the testator of 1558. The following tentative pedigree shows the connections as suggested above :

[On pages 252-255 abstracts have been given of all the AVhittier wills, administration acts, and administration bonds that are to be found in the Sarum (Salisbury) courts down to the time of the Commonwealth. There are no AVhittier wills for this period in the Prerogative Court of Canter- bury. The AVhittier families in Downton, Landford, and AVhiteparish, co. AVilts, were doubtless all closely connected with one another. Research among the wills at AVinchester and an examination of the parish registers at Salisbury and of the transcripts for Landford (where the original regis- ters do not extend farther back than 1671) would probably disclose the parentage of the Richard Whittier of Sarum (Salisbui'y) who married, 23 Jan. 1608/9, Mary, daughter of John Rolfe of AVhiteparish, and was the father of Thomas Whittier, who came to New England in the Confidence in 1638, aged 18, as servant to his uncle John Rolfe. It is possible that Richard, father of the emigrant Thomas Whittier, was born about 1585 and was a son of that Richard who was a son of Henry AVhittier of Land- ford, the testator of 1583/4.— E. F.]

Pike Entry in the Marriage Registers of Salisbury Cathedral 1611 Henry Pike and Elioner Sanders 20 May.

[Great Bedwin, Wilcot, Pewsey, Tidcomb, and Wooton Rivers are in eastern Wilts near Marlborough and about twenty-five to thirty miles north of Whiteparish and Landlord; Tisbury and Chilmark are about twenty miles west of the latter.

The John Pike who married Dorothy Day at Whiteparish, 17 Jan. 1612/13, and had a son John baptized there 8 Nov. 1613, was certainly the emigrant of that name who came to New England in 1635 and settled at Newbury, Mass. His other children were baptized probably at Land- ford, where the registers before 1671 are lost. The Pike wills in the P. C. C. and in the Sarum courts fail to show his parentage ; perhaps he was from the adjoining county of Hants, for which there are wills at Winchester.— E. F.J

266 8imon Stone the Soldier at Exeter [July

SIMON STONE THE SOLDIER AT EXETEE

By Hon. Ezra Scollay Stearns, A.M., of Fitchburg, Mass.

The statement has appeared in print that the Simon Stone who was severely wounded in the attack upon Exeter, N. H., on July 5, 1690, was he of the name who settled at Groton, Mass., but the following from a document in the Massachusetts Archives, vol. 72, pages 468-469, establishes the identity of the man :

Province of the ) To His Excellency Jonathan Belcher Esqr

Massachusetts Bay ) Cap* Gen^ & Gov'' in chiefe The Hon''^^

Councill & House of Rep''^''^ in Generall Court Assembled at Boston Nov'^ 29**^ 1738

The petition of Simon Stone of Shrewsbury In the County of Worcester Most humbly Shews

That on y® 4"' of July AD ; 16 your Petitioner being a Sol (Her in the Service of this province in the Eastern jjarts thereof was drawn of in a Detachment Comanded by Lieu* Bancroft to Relieve Cap' Hiltons Garis- son Then Invested by the Indian Enemy and After a very Smart engage- ment the Garison was Relieved, and the enemy beat of

That dureing the fight your petitioner had the misfortune to Receive Nine of the enemys Shot in Severall parts of body and was given up for Dead for a Considerable time

That after s*^ fight was over a party of Indians making a discovery of what persons were Slain happened up on your Petitioner and perceiving Life in him as he has been Informed Gave him Two very Grevious wounds in his head with a Hatchett, but y® English being near had not time to Scalp your Petitioner.

That Notwithstanding all his wounds through the good providence of God your Petitioner after great Smart & pain was Cured of his wounds To y*^ admiration of all the beholders, for the Truth of which your peti- tioner would Referr him self To y** History of Those times wrote by the Rev'' M"^ Cotton Mather herewith humbly presented

That, for all his Services & Sufferings Loss of time & Smart he has never Rec*^ one peny to which he is ready to make oath

That by reason of the wounds he then Rec'^ accompany ed with the In- firmitys of old Age your petitioner is Almost wholly uncapable of Labor- ing for his Support, And being poor & needy humbly approaches your Excellency & Hon^* and Intreats your Just & Compassionate Consideration of his most peculiar Case & of your Abundant goodness Grant him Relief either by making him a Grant of land or Otherwise as may be Consistent with your Excellencys & Hon''^ wisdom, and as in Duty bound shall Ever Pray, &c Simon Stone

P. S. your Petitioner has | four Sons, neither himself | or any of them have ever | had any Grant of Land on ] any Acco*

Tlie " History of Those times wrote by the Kev'' M'' Cotton Ma- ther herewith humbly presented," as mentioned in the preceding petition, was the Magnalia, in the 1820 edition of which, in vol. 2,

1912] Simon Stone the Soldier at Exeter 267

pages 525-526, appears the following :

" But the day following [July 5, 1690] the enemy set upon Capt. HiltovbS garrison in Exeter, which Lieutenant Bancroft then posted at Exeter, with the loss of a few of his men relieved. At this time there happened a re- markable thing one Simon Stone being here wounded with shot

in nine several places, lay for dead (as it was time !) among the dead. The Indians coming to strip him, attempted with two several blows of an hatchet at his neck to cut off his head, which blows added, you may be sure, more enormous wounds unto those port-holes of death, at which the life of the poor man was already running out as fast as it could. Being charged hard by Lieut. Bancroft, they left the man without scalping him ; and the Eng- lish now coming to bury the dead, one of the soldiers perceived this poor man to fetch a gasp ; whereupon an Irish fellow then present, advised 'em to give him another dab with an hatchet, and so bury him with the rest. The English detesting this barbarous advice, lifted up the wounded man, and poured a little fair water into his mouth, at which he coughed ; then they poured a little strong water after it, at which he opened his eyes. . . . . . But Simon Stone was thoroughly cured, and is at this day a very lusty man ; and as he was born with two thumbs on one hand, his neighbors have thought him to have at least as many hearts as thumbs \ that no- thing may be despaired of, remember Simon Stone.

Simon Stone, eon of Hugh and Hannah (Foster) Stone, was born at Andover Oct. 8, 1671. His youth was grievous in sorrow and grewsome in the tragedy of bereavement. His father mur- dered his mother Apr. 20, 1689, and was executed. His grand- mother Ann, wife of Andrew Foster, senior, was accused of witch- craft and escaped execution by death in jail. In 1690 he was a soldier in the company commanded by Lieut. Bancroft which was engaged with the Indians at Exeter.

In 1716 he married at Andover his cousin Esther Foster, bom at Andover Jan. 14, 1680, daughter of Andrew, Jr., and Mary (Russ) Foster. Five children were born at Andover :

i. Daniel, b. Feb. 14, 1717/8.

ii. Abiel, b. June 28, 1719.

iii. Sarah, b. Mar. 16, 1720/21.

iv. John, bapt. May 5, 1723.

v. A son. Immediately preceding 1730, he purchased and removed to house- lot No. 39 in Shrewsbury. Subsequently this lot was found to be partly in Lancaster as the towns then existed. This accounts for the fact that the family is sometimes called of Shrewsbury and some- times of Lancaster.

On his petition, the General Court granted to Simon Stone of Shrewsbury two hundred acres of unappropriated land, " on account of service in the Indian wars and the dangerous wounds received from the enemy." The date of the grant is Dec. 9, 1738, and the survey was returned and the grant confirmed Jan. 4, 1739/40. (Acts and Resolves of Mass., vol. xii, pp. 516 and 636.)

268 Descendants of Joel Jenhins [July-

Simon Stone died in 1747. The widow, Esther, was appointed administratrix, and the sons Daniel and Abiel were sureties on her bond. The homestead, apprized at £250, is described as about one hundred acres part in Shrewsbury and part in Lancaster. (Wor- cester Probate Records, Case 56,933 A.)

After the death of Simon Stone, it was alleged that the grant of two hundred acres was located by error partly in Leominster. The General Court vacated the grant, and Jan. 17, 1750/51, made a grant of the same area to " Esther Stone of Lancaster, widow and administratrix of the estate of Simon Stone deceased." This grant was located in a tract of unappropriated land bounded by Leomin- ster, Princeton, Westminster, and Fitchburg, and distinguished as Notown. The grant was confirmed May 30, 1752.

The thrilling narrative of the wounds of Simon Stone and his escape from death, as told by Mather, has been quoted in several publications, but without it the briefest narrative of the wounded soldier would be incomplete. The petition of Simon Stone is in harmony with Mather's statement, and it affords proof that it was Simon Stone of Andover and Shrewsbury who was at Exeter in 1690.

SOME DESCENDANTS OF JOEL JENKINS OF BRAINTREE AND MALDEN, MASS.

By C. Harold Floyd, S.B., LL.B., A.M., of New York, N. Y.

1. JoEL^ Jenkins was one of several early emigrants of that surname who settled in different parts of New England. The records, however, have failed to show any connection between him and the others. Neither can he be connected with any place or family in Great Britain. He was living at Braintree, Mass., as early as 1 640, when his eldest child was born. That same year he was before the General Court (Mass. Colony Records, vol. 1, p. 298, and vol. 2, p. 294), and on 6 May 164G he was made a freeman. He appears to have been living in Boston in 1649, when his son Ezekiel was baptized there as being from the church of Braintree ; but he soon removed to Maiden, where records concerning the family are found as early as 1657, and where he settled permanently. In 1675 he was the owner of a grant of one hundred acres which had been confirmed and registered, and in 1680 he was one of the seven Maiden tithingmen. He is called " planter " in deeds recorded at Cambridge, and from the same source we learn that his wife's name was Sarah, but nothing more is known about her.

In his will, dated 4 July and proved 2 Nov. 1688 (Suffolk Co. Probate, vol. 10, p. 395), he bequeathed to his son Lemuel the dwelling house and land which Lemuel was then occupying ; to his son Ezekiel his own dwell- ing house and all his remaining land in Maiden ; to his son Obadiah a dwelling house and one hundred acres in Reading, for life, with remainder

1912] Descendants of Joel Jenhins 269

to the latter's son Joel ; to his daughter Lydia, wife of John Paul, one hundred acres in Reading; to his grandchildren Lemuel and Ezekiel, sons of Lemuel, twenty-five acres in Reading ; and to his daughters Hannah, wife of Joseph Parker, and Sarah, wife of Joseph Merriam, twenty shil- lings each " besides what they have already had." His son Ezekiel was the sole executor, and the executor's account, dated 12 June 1705, men- tions a legacy paid to Robert Blood (Middlesex Co. Probate, vol. 11, p. 12).*

It was shown that the frontier was a step in the process of development, and that the qualities of independence and freedom from restraint, which in later years were character- istic of the western frontier, appeared in this eastern frontier two centuries before.

It was

Votedi — That the Society express to Professor Turner its enjoyment of the paper and its appreciation of the store of original material that he has so ably and interestingly presented in illustrating the theme.

The report of the Committee to Amend the By-Laws, "approving both the substance and form of the amendment" proposed, was accepted.

It was unanimously

Voted, — That the Society authorize the President and the Treasurer to borrow on behalf of the Society a sum not exceeding S85,000, and to give the note of the Society therefor, payable in not more than ten (10) years, with interest thereon at a rate not exceeding 5 per cent, per annum, and to execute, acknowl- edge and deliver in the name and behalf of the Society a power-of-sale mortgage, with such special provisions, if any, as they may deem expedient, of the real estate of the Society now numbered 9 on Ashburton Place, and 3, 5, and 7 Allston Place in said Boston.

At 4.45 it was voted to adjourn, after which refreshments were served.

NOTES

It having come to the attention of this Society that certain genealogists and publishers have used the name of the Society m connection with their own enterprises, the Society again de- sires to state that it has NO genealogical representatives in this country or in England, nor is it in any way connected with any publications other than those that it issues over its own name at 18 Somerset Street, Boston.

The Committee on English Research desires to state, however, that although the Society has no oflQ.cial representative in England the Committee is employing Miss French for a part of her time as a record searcher there along special lines for the benefit of the Registbb.

Allkn. — In the Register for Jauuary 1893, there appeared a short article upon Hope Allen of Boston, by Orrin P. Allen, Esq., of Palmer, Mass., followed by several queries about his family. Had Mr. Allen examined the Registeb, vol. xxix, p. 47, he would have seen a note by Mr. Waters showing that Hannah, the third wife of Hope Allen, was the widow of Thomas Hull of Boston and the daughter of William and Hannah (Penn) Townsend of Boston.

Hope Allen resided in Wing's Lane, now Elm Street, near Dock Square.

As regards the other queries of Mr. Allen, concerning the subsequent history of his sons Jacob and Benjamin, Mr. Waters informed me several years ago

JSFotes 283

that he had discovered in the Salem Court, among the papers in a case of Jacob Allen vs John Conney in 1676, the apprenticeship indenture of Jacob Allen to Conney, in which he is described as the son of Hope Allen. This Jacob Allen is of course the cooper and mariner of Salem, who married the daughter of John Clifford. He removed to South Carolina and died there, while his children remained in Salem. One of his daughters, Elizabeth, was the wife of Dr. Jo- han von Kroninschelt and the ancestress of all the Crowninshelds ; another, Rachel, was the wife of Joseph Hilliard of Salem and mother of Martha Hilliard who married her first cousin, Clifford Crowniusheld.

Benjamin Allen, brother of Jacob Allen, the other missing son of Hope Allen, was also a mariner of Salem, and from an entry in the Notarial Book in the Essex Court we learn that he died abroad, and left two daughters to whom a guardian was appointed in Salem.

Now as regards the daughter of Hope Allen, I have found several interesting documents in the Suffolk deeds. I find that Rev. Deodat Lawson and Deborah his wife joined with two other children of Hope Allen in selling his property on Dec. 14, 1691. This is of course Deborah Allen, born 26 March 1674, bp. 29 : 1 mo. : 1674.

I also And a Power of Attorney, dated 13 May 1671, among the Suffolk Deeds, from William Shute of the Island of Jamaica and Rachel, his wife, to their father, Hope Allen, currier, and their friend John Saffln, merchant, both of Boston. This is Rachel, bapt. 16 : 7 : 1666, evidently as an adult. She probably died before May 16, 1676, as Hope Allen had another daughter Rachel born May 16, 1676.

Thus we find Hope Allen was the progenitor of the Crowninshield and Hilliard families of Salem through his son Jacob, and the father-in-law of the famous Deodat Lawson.

I am glad to be thus able to account for the two missing sons of Hope Allen,

namely Jacob and Benjamin. I shall be very glad to learn who Rachel

the first wife of Hope Allen was, and where in England he came from.

Henry Sew all of Newbury and Rowley, Mass. — The career in England of this founder of a distinguished New England family has been obscure. From a letter written in 1720 by his grandson Judge Samuel Sewall (b. 1652, d. 1730), and from researches by the late Col. Chester and by Mr. Henry F. Waters, it has been known that he was baptized at Coventry, England, 8 Apr. 1576, the eldest son of Henry Sewall, a wealthy draper and Mayor of that city, by his wife Margaret Grazebrook ; that he married Anne Hunt, by whom he had an only child, Henry Sewall, born about 1615; that he came to New England with a wife Ellen in 1635 ; and that he lived at Newbury and, finally, at Rowley, where he died in 1657. From the wills of his parents it is clear he had caused them much tribulation, and his conduct in New England indicates that he was subject to periodical insanity. (See 5 Mass. Hist. Soc. Colls., vol. 5, pp. xi-xviii; Waters's Gleanings, pp. 153-6, and 1415-16.) In Essex Co. Court Files is a de- position, made 10 Apr. 1679, by Robert Walker of Boston, aged about 72 years,* that about 56 years since [in 1623] he lived with his father in Manchester, Eng- land, and that one Henry Sewall then lived there on the same street, and said Sewall later came to New England, etc. (Rp:gister, vol. 7, p. 46.)

The following records show that Henry* Sewall lived at Manchester probably all the time from his first marriage, about 1614, until his emigration to America In 1635, and also furnish the baptism of his only child, the burial of his first wife, his marriage to his second wife, and her baptism and former marriage, and the burial of her first husband :

In Chetham Soc. Collections, New Ser., vol. 47, is an excellent account of the Mosley family of Manchester, compiled by Ernest Axon, Esq., of Manchester. In this account, Mr. Axon gives the two marriages of Ellen Mosley and states that she is mentioned as the wife of Henry Shewell of Tetlow* in the will of Mrs. Margaret Nugent in 1630. He also states that in the " Family Memoirs" by Sir Oswald Mosley, the latter speaks of the unhappy marriage of his kins- woman Ellen Mosley; this doubtless refers to her second marriage with the erratic Henry Sewell, as Mr. Axon says he finds no evidence of such a condition with her first husband Walter Nugent.

In Chetham Soc. Collections, 1st Ser., vol. 42, pp. 140-5, is the will of Dame Elizabeth Mosley, widow of Sir Nicholas Mosley, Knt., dated 4 May 1617, in which she mentions children of Anthony Mosley, brother of her husband, as " my cousins Ellen Shewell, Alice Cudworth, Anne, Francis, Edward, Richard, and Rowland Mosley."

The Mosley family of Manchester were armorial, became wealthy as mer- chants, and were prominent in that city for several generations. Their arms were Sable, a chevron between 3 battle-axes argent.

A "Mayflower" Line in the Ely Family. — In the "Ely Ancestry" (New York, 1902), p. 61, it is stated that No. 14, Maj. Daniel Ely of Lyme, Ct., born 1693, by his fourth wife, Ruhama Turner, born 1704, died 1788, had five chil- dren, numbered 8 to 12 inclusive, whose descendants are traced through several generations.

Not long since, Mr. A. A. Aspinwall, Historian of the District of Columbia Society of Mayflower Descendants, told me that, according to some notes of his, Ruhama Arnold of New London married an Ely, and that possibly the name of the fourth wife of Maj. Daniel was Ruhama Arnold and not Turner, but that he was unable to tell where he obtained the information. I took up the matter at his suggestion, and submit the following, which conclusively proves the wife to have been Ruhama* Arnold of New London (Mercy* (Pickett) Fosdick Arnold, Euth^ (Brewster) Pickett, Jonathan' Brewster, William^).

Mercy* Pickett's lineage is well known, the Brewster Genealogy, pp. 17-18, stating that she married first at New London, Nov. 1, 1682, Capt. Samuel Fosdick, who died Aug. 27, 1702, and married secondly, Dec. 6, 1703, John Arnold, who died at New London Aug., 1725, aged 73. It is also stated on page 18 that there were two Arnold children.

Caulkins's History of New London, pp. 343-344, confirms this, and on page 368 gives the children of John Arnold as "Ruhamah, who married an Ely, of Lyme, and Lucretia, who became the second wife of John Proctor, A.M.," evi- dently Mr. Aspinwall's authority which he could not recall. The index of the Ely Ancestry is very complete, but the name Ruhama Arnold does not appear therein although she married an Ely of Lyme. Per contra, although the New London Turner families have been the subject of considerable investigation, no Ruhama Turner of about that date can be found among them.

Savage, vol. i, p. 65, informs us that "in 1700" John Arnold "went to New London, there was an anchor smith, m. 6 Dec. 1703, Mercy, wid. of Samuel Fosdick, had Ruhamah, b. 7 Sept. 1704; and Lucretia, 26 Aug. 1706," etc., and names no other children. The year of birth given by Savage for Ruhama Arnold is therefore identical with that given for Ruhama Turner in the Ely Ancestry, and in itself is almost conclusive if considered with the preceding

data. An examination of the Fosdick genealogy discloses nothing in any way inconsistent with the conclusion herein arrived at.

In Joshua Hempstead's Diary, in New London Co. Hist. Soc. Colls., vol. 1, p. 204, under date of Nov. 3, 1728, we read: '^Elisha Turnner and Aminthami Arnold published " ; and in Bailey's Early Conn. Marriages, vol. 2, p. 14, from records of the First Congregational Church, New London: "Elisha Turner of Scituate and Ruhamah Arnold, [married] Dec. 19, 1728."

Caulkins's History of New London, p. 347, informs us that Elisha Turner, supposed to have come from the Scituate family, settled in the town after 1720, but makes no mention of posterity.

At least two children were born, as shown by the following from the Hemp- stead Diary: Sunday, Jan. 25, 1729/30, "3 Infants Babtized . . . Elisha Turner 1 Arnold " (p. 217) ; Sunday, Feb. 16, 1734/5, " RuAmah Turner a Child Babtized Elizabeth" (p. 285). (See also. Later Hist, of the First Church, New Lon- don, pp. 491-497.) The latter was just after the death of her husband Elisha, as shown by the following item (p. 284) under date of Jan.*20, 1734/5 : "The Male [njcholly News of the Death of Elisha Turnner Jno Gove & Job Taber. the sd Turnner was mt of a Small Scooner belonging to the Newlondon Society had been to North Cai'olina & Returned home to Road Island & disposed of her Pitch & Tarr he was coming home in the Storm & Run on the Rocks ui fishers Island Sound near Masons Island & there perished with the Cold & wet. 2 men saved Hez Beebee & the Mate. Sd Beebee & Taber were passengers from Ehoad Island."

Again, the Hempstead Diary (p. 311), under date of Sunday, Oct. 81, 1736, says: "Abraham Morgan & Eliza Beckwith publisht and Daniel Ely of Lyme unto Amy Turner of N. L. " ; and from Bailey, vol. 2, p. 17, at the First Church, New London: "Daniel Ely of Lyme and Ruhamah Turner, [married] Nov. 10, 1736."

Now as to the daughter Lucretia, in Hempstead's Diary, under date of Sunday, Feb. 11, 1732/3, is the statement: "Nath Saltonstall & Lucretia Arnold pub- lisht " (p. 256) ; and in Bailey, vol. 2, p. 16, at New London : " Nathaniel Salton- stall & Mrs. Lucretia Arnold, [married] March 1, 1733."

The Saltonstall Genealogy, p. 34, states that Nathaniel, son of Gov. Gurdon Saltonstall of New Loudon, born July 1, 1707, married, in 1733, Lucretia Arnold, and removed to one of the Southern colonies, giving no information as to their descendants, and making no mention of John Proctor. Caulkins (p. 318) states that Lydia Richards married John Proctor of Boston. If he ever married Lucretia Arnold it was probably after the death of Nathaniel Saltonstall. Proctor was not a graduate of either Yale or Harvard, and thus far I find nothing concerning him, except the following from the Hempstead Diary (p. 218), imder date of Feb. 4, 1729-30, which I assume relates to him: "A Child of John Proctors about a year old Died yesterday was buried."

In the Ely Ancestry, p. 52, we find this: "We make the following extracts from the 'Public Records of Connecticut' regarding Mr. Daniel Ely": "On petition to the General Assembly in May, 1740, of Thomas Fosdick, Nathaniel Saltonstall and Lucretia, his wife, in right of Lucretia, all of New London, and Daniel Ely of Lyme, and Ruhamah, his wife, in right of Ruhamah, all of the County of New London, against Ralph Stoddard, Junr., of Groton in said County, a certain judgment of the Superior Court held at New London in Sep- tember, 1739, relative to two certain tracts of land, was declared null and void, and a new trial ordered. (1735-1743, page 313)." This identifies Ruhama, wife of Daniel Ely of Lyme, and Lucretia, wife of Nathaniel Saltonstall of New London, as the two daughters, Ruhama and Lucretia, of Mercy* (Pickett), Fosdick Arnold by her second husband, John Arnold, and shows that Ruhama Arnold married first Elisha Turner, and secondly Daniel Ely of Lyme. Thomas Fosdick, who joined in the petition, was their half brother, Dea. Thomas^ of New London, and the only one of Mercy Pickett's children by SamueP Fosdick then living there. SamueP had removed to Oyster Bay, L. I. ; Mercy,* the widow of Thomas Jiggles of Boston, had married Thomas Morris in 1708; Ruth* was the wife of James TiUey of New York; Anna* was the wife of Thomas Latham of Groton ; John* was living in Guilford ; and Mary* was the wife of Richard Sutton of Charlestown. (See Caulkins, p. 344 ; and Fosdick Genealogy, pp. 43-44 ; also Bailey's Early Conn. Marriages, vol. 2, pp. 10, 14.)

The importance of the proof lies ia the fact that it establishes a Brewster ancestry for a considerable number of Ely descendants in Connecticut, New

GEORGE AUGUSTUS GORDON, A.M.

By Samuel Merrill, A.B., LL.B., of Cambridge, Mass.

George Augustus Gordon, for seventeen years prior to 1910 recording secretary of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, and chosen a member of the Council for 1910, 1911, and 1912, died May 3, 1912. His age was 84 years. In 1908 the infirmities of age became apparent. His visits to the Society's house, which had long been as regular as the calls of the letter carrier, became intermittent. His step was uncertain, as evidence of Parkinson's disease became manifest, and on May 21, 1909, he visited the house for the last time, though his thoughts were still of the Society, its work, and those with whom he had been asso- ciated in Somerset street for so many years.

Capt. Gordon was a genealogist from boyhood. In 1843, when still in his teens, he began collecting records of the New England Gordons, and as an octogenarian he was conscious, as so many oth- ers in similar circumstances have been, that his work was unfinished, though prosecuted through all the intervening years. His parents were Ebenezer* Gordon, born Feb. 28, 1797, in Newbury, Mass., and Sophronia (Anderson) Gordon, born Feb. 28, 1807, in Free- port, Me. Their residence was in Dover, N. H., where George Augustus® was born July 17, 1827. The ancestral line is through Timothy,' born 1757 in Brentwood, N. H. ; Timothy,' born 1716 in Exeter, N. H. ; Thomas,^ born 1678 in Exeter, and Alexander.' Alexander' Gordon, a native of the Scotch Highlands, was a soldier in Gen. Monk's army, supporting the cause of Charles I. He fell into the hands of Cromwell, and was sent to New England as a prisoner of war in 1651. He settled in Exeter in 1654, married Mary Lysson there, and had six sons and two daughters.

In his marriage Capt. Gordon found a stimulus for further re- search in the family history. His wife, who survives him, and to whom he was married Oct. 16, 1857, was Miss Ann Farley* Gordon. She was born in Mansfield, Mass., a daughter of Nathaniel Bachiler' Gordon, who was a native of Exeter. Nathaniel Bachiler^ Gordon was descended through John* and NathanieP from Thomas,'' the

VOL. LXVI. 19

292 George Augustus Gordon [Oct,

ancester of Capt. Gordon. Of the eight children of Capt. Gordon five survive, — Agnes of Somerville, Lysson of Medford (bursar of Simmons College) , Harry of New York, Margaret of Somerville, and Huntlie of Cambridge.

In a country school at the foot of Gordon Hill in Exeter the captain began his education. He continued it in public schools in Newbury, Mass., Farmington, Me., and Dover, N. H., and in August, 1843, entered Dartmouth College as a sophomore, receiving his A.B. in 1846, and his A.M. in 1849.

His first active employment was early in 1847, when he became entjaffed as a civil eng-ineer in the construction of the cotton mills and boarding hovises of the Atlantic Corporation in Lawrence. An interval of railroad survey work was followed by a brief season of theological study, and in April, 1850, he became a civil engineer employed on construction work by the Amoskeag Company at Manchester.

For more than three years following April, 1851, Capt. Gordon was resident civil engineer for the Lewiston Water Power Co. During this time, and under his direction, canals, locks, and three mills, besides many boarding houses, were built, and many streets laid out. His employment on the Androscoggin was terminated by reason of his strong political opinions. He successfully organized a bolt at the State election in 1853, which resulted in the defeat of the Whig candidate for representative, the candidate's abolitionism being the chief ground of the opposition to him. The agent of the water power company and the resident engineer were in different political camps, and the latter sought a new field.

After a year in the practice of his profession with the Detroit Locomotive Works, Capt. Gordon purchased the Lawrence, Mass., Sentinel. This was a Democratic newspaper, and those of us who ever knew the editor can easily imagine the vigor of the editorials in which he bore his part in the prosecution of the exciting and suc- cessful political campaign of 1856, which ended in the election of Buchanan.

From 1857 until July, 1860, Capt. Gordon was assistant editor of the Charleston, S. C, Mercury. The transfer of his interests and activities to the South involved no violence to his sympathies or to his principles. " 1 began life," he wrote in 1876, " as a Union- Saving Webster Whig. Since 1854 I have been, and still am, a hard-shell, hard money, free trade, pro-slavery, states rights Demo- crat." Capt. Gordon's opinions were his own, and they were the logical conclusion of facts as he understood them. He was upright and downright in his convictions. His positiveness was not that of inertia, blind and unreasoning ; it was an active force, and had to be reckoned with, and whether one agreed with him or not, everyone knew that his opinions were sincere, and were not dictated by motives of expediency.

1'912] George Augustus Gordon 293

A subordinate position on a political newspaper would be likely to prove irksome to one of Capt. Gordon's temperament. At all events, in August, 1860, he abandoned journalism and accepted the euperintendencj of the Southern Gold Co., a Boston concern with mines in northern Georgia. The work was successful, but the out- break of war soon attracted the miners into military service.

The mines were shut down, but in 1862 the captain resumed mining in North Carolina. In February, 1863, however, he too enlisted in a Georgia regiment in the Confederate army. The war was a political issue, and his enlistment was fully consistent with his political beliefs. His command went at once to the defence of Savannah, and thence to Charleston. Two months after his enlist- ment he was commissioned lieutenant in the quartermaster's depart- ment, and in September of the same year was assigned to the staff of Gen. Wayne, who was charged with the task of keeping the Atlantic & Western Kailroad open for military traffic. In the summer of 1864 he was transferred to the Governor's general staff, and served in the transportation department. He was soon promoted captain, and served in north-western Georgia in the distribution of breadstuffs to the inhabitants made destitute by the presence of the contending armies of Sherman and Johnston. His military service was terminated by the seizure of his train equipage by United States army officers in June, 1865.

The war having ended, he returned to his home in Dahlonega, Ga. , and then for two years was active again in mining engineering in the Southern states, his work being largely at the Gold Belt mine, on the Rappahannock and Rapidan rivers, in northern Virginia.

Returning north the Gordons took up their residence in Law- rence, and later in Lowell, where Capt. Gordon was in charge of the advertising department of the J. C. Ayer Company. The last twenty-eight years he lived in Somerville. A portion of the time he was connected with the Somerville Journal, but he was giving more and more of his time to genealogical work, and finally this was his only employment.

The results of his painstaking work are seen in many published genealogies. "The Ipswich Emersons, 1636-1900," is an example. His work was always conscientious and thorough. It was directed by intelligence of a high order, and aided by an unusual memory, which could quickly supply a required fact or a source of authority which had been met in the course of his wide study of genealogies, histories, and public records. The same care was devoted to the records of the Society, and at the time of his retirement as recording secretary, after seventeen years' service, this resolution was passed :

" While the records he has kept with such painstaking carefulness will in themselves ever bear full evidence of their accuracy, and hence of the value to the Society of Capt. Gordon's labors, still at this annual meeting, he first from which he has been absent in the long years of his services,

294 Isles of Shoals in the Eighteenth Century [Oct.

we must especially acknowledge our debt to that clear mind, the strength and vigor of which even age has not abated."

Capt. Gordon became a resident member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society in December, 1876. He was an active member of the South Carolina Historical Society, a corre- sponding member of the New Hampshire, Maine, and Wisconsin Historical Societies, and a member of similar local organizations in Lowell, Somerville, and Dover. He belonged also to the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of New Hampshire, and was for many years genealogist for that society as well as for the Colonial Dames of Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Capt. Gordon became a churchman shortly after leaving college. He was made a member of the corporation of Emmanuel Episcopal parish in Somerville in 1885, was chosen junior warden in 1889, and senior warden in 1897, retaining the latter office until 1911. He was active in Masonry for sixty years.

*To this point all the entries of baptisms appear to be in the handwriting of Mr. Tucke. The slight variations that occur are mostly such as may be explained by va- riations in the condition of quills or possibly of health. The last entry, of the daugh- ters of John Robinson, is distinctly characteristic and has special interest because it makes it quite evident that Mr. Tucke did not die Aug. 12, 1773, as stated by Morse in his " Description of the Isles of Shoals," and also cut in the tombstone on Star Island, both of these being records made nearly thirty years after the event. The same date is also given in a random entry in the Kecords of the Town of Gosport, but this entry is out of place and much open to suspicion. The notice of his death appears in the New Hampshire Gazette (of Portsmouth, N. H.) of 3 Sept. 1773 as a recent event without an exact date. Mr. Tucke may have died as late as the day preceding this notice.

f At this place there is a scrawl much cramped and twisted. It certainly does not fit the name of either parent. This and the records down to and including Oct. 24 are in the same hand, and my guess is that it is the hand of the younger Tucke, who was at the Shoals as late as Oct. 21, when he signed a receipt as administrator of the estate of his father. I am inclined to read the scrawl " Pastor" or " Pater," i.e. the Sunday after the death of Mr. Tucke. " She " rewritten is a possible reading.

Mr. Tucke apparently tried 1;o collect records from other churches where Shoalers had been baptized or married, etc., and entered them in the book of the Church of Gosport. These memoranda seem to include families living on the Shoals at about the time of his ordination, but no records of the churches in Portsmouth or Kittery are given. The entries fill three pages (149-151) as follows:

" A Record of Baptisms, Admissions, Dismissions, &c., by y® Neighbour- ing Ministers." f

* Probably Henry Walker Andross is meant. His son William was baptized in Oc- tober 1761. The name Walker does not appear in the annals of the Shoals so far as I know them. I take it that, by a custom which was very common in the next century, Andross was ordinarily called " Henry Walker," and the clergyman quite naturally supposed that to be his whole name. o.- i j

fit is not unlikely that some of these baptisms were performed at the Shoals al- though entered in the church record of another place.

J Probably Mr. John Carter (d. 1726) is meant.

NOTES ON NEW HAVEN FAMILIES

By Donald Lines Jacobus, M.A., of New Haven, Conn.

Mansfield

1. Richard^ Mansfield, of New Haven, married at St. Mary Archer, Exeter, England, 10 Aug. 1G3G, Gillian Drake, and died at New Haven 10 Jan. 1665. His widow married secondly Alexander Field, and diedinl66i).

2. Joseph^ Mansfield {Richard^), the elder of his two sons, was born about 1638, and died 15 Nov. 1692. He married Mary Potter, daughter of William and Frances (Register, vol. 54, p. 24). In Mansfield's " Descendants of Kichard and Gillian Mansfield," pub- lished in 1885, is a very incomplete account of Joseph's family, and it says of his daughters Mary and Elizabeth that they " prob- ably died unmarried." An entry in the New Haven County Court Records (vol. 1, p. 210), dated 14 June, 1693, mentions Joseph's widow Mary and his children, Mary Tirhan, Martha Sperry, Marcy Bristow, Silence Wilcocks, Elizabeth Johnson, Comfort Benham, Joseph Mansfield, Ebenezer Mansfield, and Japhet Mansfield. Children :

S. Mary^ Mansfield {Joseph,"^ Richard^) was born 6 Apr. 1658. In the County Court record referred to above, her married name is given as Tirhan, a variant for Turhand. The only man in the vicinity bearing this uncommon name, who could be her husband, was Thomas Tirhan of Guilford, Conn., who died in 1696, leaving

1912] Notes on JVeio Haven Families 309

a widow Mary and children Henry, Samuel, and Abigail (New Haven County Court Records, vol. 1, p. 241). But Mary had been married before, as administration on the estate of Henry Wise of Guilford, deceased, was granted, 11 June 1684, to his widow Mary (County Court Records, vol. 1, p. 147), and in June 1686, there is further record of this estate, mentioning the widow Mary, Thomas Terhan present husband to the relict, and two children, unnamed (County Court Records, vol. 1, p. 160). John Hill of New Haven, who was born 10 Jan. 1650, and died 1710, mai'ried for his second wife, Aug. 1703, Mary Turhan. Consequently Mary married first Henry Wise of Guilford ; secondly Thomas Turhand of Guil- ford; and thirdly John Hill of New Haven. In 1712, adminis- tration on the estate of Mary Hill of New Haven, deceased, was granted to Henry Turhand of Wallingford ; and the estate was distributed to her son Henry, daughter Mary wife of Israel Barnes, and the heirs of her daughter Sarah Wright, deceased (New Haven Probate Records, vol. 4, pp. 55, 89). Children by first husband :

i. Sarah* Wise, m. "Wright.

ii. Mary Wise, d. after 1756 ; m. 31 Dec. 1707, Israel Barnes of New Haven, b. 22 Apr. 1680, d. 1751.

Children by second husband :

iii. Henry Turhand, of Wallingford; m. 7 Nov. 1712, Elizabeth

MerrIxMan, b. 4 May 1693. iv. Samuel Turhand, not named in the distribution of his mother's

estate. V. Abigail Turhand, not named in the distribution of her mother's

estate.

4- Silence^ Mansfield {Joseph,"^ Richard^) was born 24 Oct. 1664. The Mansfield Genealogy says she married a Chatfield, and there is plenty of evidence to prove that her second husband was a Chat- field ; but the County Court record previously mentioned gives her name, in 1693, as Wilcocks. The Wilcox and Wilcoxson families of Connecticut descend from William Wilcoxson of Strat- ford, one of whose sons, Obadiah, settled in East Guilford, and died in 1714, leaving widow Silence. The comparative infrequency of the name Silence, together with the fact that Silence Mansfield's sister Mary married two Guilford men, make it probable that Obadiah Wilcoxson was her husband; and furthermore, Oba- diah's daughter Jemima married Rev. John Merriman of South- ington, and had a grandson Norman Mansfield Merriman, whose name helps to substantiate the theory; but the following would seem absolute proof. In 1750, Samuel* Mansfield (Ebenezer,^ Joseph,^ Richard^) died without issue, and his estate, excepting the widow's dower, reverted to his uncles and aunts (of whom Silence was one) or their representatives. On 22 May 1753, John Merri- man and his wife Jemima of Farmington, and JVIindwell Hill and Thankful Norton, widows, of Guilford, deeded to Joel Bradley of New Haven one-fifth part of land that was Samuel Mansfield's, deceased (New Haven Deeds, vol. 17, p. 358). As Jemima, Thankful, and Mindwell were daughters of Obadiah Wilcoxson by his wife Silence, and as this deed proves them to be heirs of Samuel Mansfield, their mother must have been this Silence Mansfield

whose name in 1693 is given as Wilcocks. She was Obadiah's third wife, and considerably younger than he. By his first wife, Mary , he probably had Ephraim and Janna (cf. Savage's " Gene- alogical Dictionary," and Wilcox's " The Descendants of William Wilcoxson," published in 1893) ; and according to Savage, his

second wife was Lydia . She was Lydia Ailing of New

Haven, daughter of John and Ellen (Bradley), born 2 Aug. 1656, an identification which is proved by the fact that John Ailing, in his will of 6 May 1689, names his grandchildren Ebenezer and Mary Wilcocks (New Haven Probate Records, vol. 2, p. 80). By Lydia, Obadiah had: Mary, born 1676, married Thomas Munson of New Haven ; Lydia, born 1678, died young; Obadiah, born 1679, died young; Ebenezer, born 1682. By Silence, Obadiah had Children :

i. Timothy* Wilcoxson, b. 15 Nov. 1690 ; d. before his father, with- out issue (New Haveu Probate Records, vol. 4, p. 295).

ii. John Wilcoxson, b. 9 Nov. 1692: d. 1 May 1753; m. U Jan. 1719, Deborah Parmelee.

Norton of Guilford, vii. Silence (?) Wilcoxson, for whose existence Savage is authority.

Munson-Ferns Samuel^ Munson, son of Samuel- and Martha (Bradley), and grandson of Capt. Thomas'^ and Joanna, was born 28 Feb. 1669, resided in Walliug- ford, Conn., and died 23 Nov. 1741. According to Munson's "The Mun- son Record " (p. 90), his first wife was Martha , who died 7 Jan.

1707, leaving eight children. The following facts shed some light on this lady's identity, which has hitherto remained a mystery. In May 1704, administration on the estate of »Samuel Ferns, Sr., of New Haven, deceased, was granted to Thomas Sperry. Later in the same year, an agreement was made by Thomas Sperie and Sam'^ Munson, sons-in-law to Samuel Ferns of New Haven, deceased, providing for the disposal of his estate and for the maintenance of Samuel Ferns [Jr.] (New Haven County Court Records, vol. 2, pp. 152, 173). Since Samuel Munson's first wife, Martha, was living at this time, it seems certain that she was a daughter of Samuel Ferns. Her birth and marriage are not recorded in the vital records, where we find the births of three of his children : Samuel, Elizabeth, and John. As Samuel, Jr., had to be maintained by his brother-in-law, it is likely that he was an invalid or an imbecile. Although he was heir to some property, he executed no deeds, and there is no probate of his estate. Probably it went to Thomas Sperry in return for maintenance. As for the son John, he seems to have died in his father's lifetime. In 1705, Widow Sackett and her son John were appointed guardians to John, son of John Ferns, deceased (New Haven County Court Records, vol. 2, p. 202). On 26 June 1712, James Ferns, minor child of John Ferns, late resident at Woodbury, deceased, chose Serj*^ Samuel Mundson of Wallingford to be his guardian (New Haven Probate Records, vol. 4, p. 54). In 1724, on the death of James Ferns of Milford, some dispute arose as to whether his

1912] Diary of Jeremiah Weave, Jr. 311

estate should go to his uncle, Samuel Ferns of New Haven, or to John Olmstead of Norwalk, whose wife was sister of the half blood to the de- ceased (New Haven Probate Records, vol. 5, pp. 200, 216). As the court decided in favor of the uncle, it is assumed that the estate came from the father's side, and that Olmstead's wife was half-sister on the mother's side ; and this is substantiated by the Norwalk records, which show that John Olmstead's wife was Mary, daughter of Robert Small, " transient, sometime of Norwalk." From these facts and conjectures it is possible to construct this pedigree of the family :

1. Samuel^ Ferns, of New Haven, died in 1704. Children : i. Samuel,* b. 2 July 1663; living in 1724; probably d. uum. ii. Elizabeth, b. 7 Dec. 1665; d. 22 Apr. 1718; m. 18 Nov. 1684, Thomas Sperry, b. 13 July 1658, d. 1722. 2. iii. John, b. 3 Mar. 1668.

iv. Martha, b. abt. 1670 ; d. 7 Jan. 1707 ; m. abt. 1688, Samuel Mun- SON of Walliugford, b. 28 Feb. 1669, d. 23 Nov. 1741.

2. JoHN^ Ferns {SamiieP), born 3 Mar. 1668, died before 1705, and probably before his father. He lived at Woodbury, Conn., and married the widow of Robert Small, who, by her former husband, had a daughter Mary Small, who married, 29 Feb. 1718, John Olmstead of Norwalk, Conn. Children :

i. John,' must have d. unm. before his brother, unless his name, which appears only in the modern copy of the court records, be a clerical error for James.

ii. James, of Milford, Conn., d. unm. 1724.

SOME DESCENDANTS OF JOEL JENKINS OF BRAINTREE AND MALDEN, MASS.

[Concluded from page 273] By C. Harold Floyd, S.B., LL.B., A.M., of New York, N. Y.

12. Nathaniel* Jenkins {Nathaniel,'^ Lemuel,"^ Joel'^), horn at Maiden 4 May 1721, died 19 Mar. 1776. He married, 1 May 1746, Abi- gail Baldwin, born about 1720, died 17 Nov. (gravestone, 17 Oct.) 1779, daughter of Joseph and Sarah of Maiden. In early life he was a shoemaker, but being of feeble constitution and unable to stand the work, the selectmen induced him to become the Maiden schoolmaster. After a year of study under the Rev. Mr. Emerson, in 1781 he reluctantly entered upon his new duties, and continued in the position until his death. He seems to have had a natural aptitude for this work, but his strict discipline and ready rod were remembered long after he had passed away. He also was town clerk. A sketch of his life is given in Corey's History of Maiden, page 625. (See also Drake's Middlesex County, vol. 2, page 120.) Administration on his estate was granted 2 Sept. 1776, to Jonathan Portei", gent. ; and on 1 Dec. 1784, Samuel Waite was appointed administrator de bonis non. His sons appear to have removed from Maiden, and one, at least, went to New York State. Children :

On one occasion he attracted the attention of Baron Steuben, who warmly commended him for his soldierly bearing. (For an interesting account of the episode, see Gen. La Fayette's Memoirs (Hartford, 1825), p. 164, quoted in Corey's Hist, of Maiden, p. 819.)

322 Eaidy English Shermans [Oct.

THE EARLY ENGLISH SHERMANS

By Thomas Toavnsend Sherman of New York City

In the Register (July 1897), vol. 51, page 309, is an article ou the " Ancestry of Rev. John Sherman and Capt. John Sherman, by a Descendant of Capt. John Sherman," with a tabular Sherman pedigree. The author, who has since died, was Charles A. White, Esq., of New Haven, Conn., an experienced and reliable genealo- gist. His article was mainly based upon the then recently published Gleanings of Mr. Waters. Mr. White, in the Register for 1900 (vol. 54, pp. 62 and 152), published abstracts of many early Eng- lish Sherman wills, and an interesting commentary thereon. Since these publications, I have been engaged, with the assistance of Messrs. J. Henry Lea and J. R. Hutchinson, in the examination of English records, and the preparation of a pedigree of the early Shermans Avhich I hope to publish some day. In these investiga- tions I have found, I think, the records of the baptisms of Capt. John Sherman and his brother Richard, and of the burial of John Sherman, their father, in the Parish Register of Great Horkesley, Essex, which place is about six miles west of Dedham, where so many of the Shermans lived and carried on the manufacture of woolen goods. I published in the Register for 1905 (vol. 59, p. 397) an abstract of the will of Thomas Sherman of Diss, Norfolk (formerly of Yaxley, Suffolk), proved in 1493, and also Sherman extracts from the Parish Registers of Yaxley, Diss, and other neigh- boring places. The following will is probably that of a member of the same family :

Will of John Sherman of Yaxle, dated 20 Aug. 1465. To be bm-ied in Yaxle churchyard. To Margaret my wife 10s. yearly for life, and one acre of wheat and one of barley for a year. To the high altar (of Yaxley), for tithes forgotten, 12d. To Robert my son the tenement for- merly Robert Sherman's, containing eight acres of land. To my godson Richard eight acres of land called Fyveacre and Ly Heme. To my wife Margaret a garden called Bukksyerde. A trental of St. Gregory to be said for my soul and the souls of my father and mother. A churchale to be held in Yaxley church. Executors : Robert Sherman my son, and his son William. Witnesses: None. Proved 2 Oct. 1466, by the executors. (Bury St. Edmunds Wills. Archdeaconry of Sudbury, Bk. II, fo. 384.)

A trental is thirty successive daily requiem masses, and a churchale is a festival at which ale is used.

The garden called "Bukksyerde," that is Bukks Yard, mentioned in this will, was doubtless the same or part of the same property mentioned in the will of Thomas Sherman of Yaxley, dated 20 Jan. 1551 (Register, vol. 54, p. 153), as his messuages and closes called " Bukkys Lede," that is, Bukkys Tenement. The will of

1912] Early English Shermans 323

John Sherman of Yaxley, proved in 1504 (Registee, vol. 54, p. 152), mentions his son Thomas and his daughter Margery. The will of this son Thomas, proved in 1551 (Register, vol. 54, p. 153), mentions his sister Lokwood. She was Margery Sherman who married Robert Lockwood of Eye in Suffolk, situated about two miles east of Yaxley, whose will is as follows :

Will of Robert Lockwood of Eye, dated 25 May 1558. To be buried in the Churchyard of Eye. To the restoration of the Church of Eye 6s. 8d. To the poor of Eye 10s. Towards the making of the organs 2s. To my daughter Marie, now wife of John Ward, £6 13s. 4d. on condition that her husband do make her a jointure of a piece of land according to agreement betwixt him and me. To daughter Ann, now wife of Anthony Barker, 40s. and household stuff. To Margerie my wife all my plate for the term of her life, and after her death Thomas Sherman the younger shall have my sUver goblet, and Marie my daughter my silver spoons. To Marie Wol- man, Margerie Tuck, and William AVolman, 20s. each. To my daughter Mary's sister, dwelling beyond Donkaster, 40s. My meadow purchased of Robert Byrce of Eye, and my barn, yai'd and garden purchased of Morres, shall be sold, and yf my nevie Thomas Sherman have them I will he pay for them but £17 6s. 8d. To Thomas Sherman one of my coffers of Waynskott. To Ann Chappell a chair. To Fraunces Sherman 6s. 8d., James Sherman 6s. 8d., and Anthony Sherman 6s. 8d. To Robert Chappel a dublet of ruflells, friend Mr. Robert Bate a coffer, Robert Chappell my bay mare with ye fole by her side, my wife Margerie my gray mare, and William Hearing a coffer. Residuary legatee and executrix, my wife Mar- gerie. Witnesses : Thomas Sherman, Thomas Rypps, Richard Thyrkettle, vicar. Proved 19 Jan, 1558/9. (Bury St. Edmunds Wills, 1558, fo. 461.)

Thomas Sherman, Fraunces Sherman, James Sherman, and An- thony Sherman, mentioned in this will, were sons of Thomas Sher- man of Yaxley, and nephews of Margery, the wife of Robert Lock- wood. Thomas Sherman, the younger, was the son of Thomas Sherman, the nephew of Mrs. Lockwood. Robert Lockwood, the testator, was perhaps the son of Robert Lockwood whose will, un- dated, was proved 30 Apr. 1540. He mentioned his wife Isabell, his sons Francis,' John, Robert, Edward, Thomas, Richard, and George, his mother Parbrad, and property called Andrews and Stobbyng. Executors : John Lockwood of Wethersett, and Isabell, the testator's wife. (Bury St. Edmunds Wills, 1537/41, fo. 206.)

The Parish Register of Great Horkesley, Essex, has the follow- ing entries :

Baptisms 1612 John Sherman 3 Sept. 1614 Richard Sherman 7 Aug.

Burial 1615/16 John Sherman 24 Jan.

These are the baptisms of Capt. John Sherman and his brother Richard, and the burial of their father, John Sherman. In the Ded-

VOL. LXVI. 21

324 Early English Shermans [Oct.

ham Parish Register is the entry of the baptism, on 16 Nov. 1617, of Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Rogers. This is the half sister of Capt. John Sherman. Mr. White shows (Register, vol. 51, p. 310) that John' Sherman (Henry,^ Henry'), the father of Capt. John Sherman, married Grace Makin prior to 14 May 1610, the date of the will of her father Tobias Makin of Fingrinhoe, Essex (Register, vol. 50. p. 286), who mentions Grace Sherman, his daughter ; that she had two sons John and Richard Sherman ; that prior to 2 Sept. 1625, the date of the will of her cousin Ann (Sher- man) Anger (Register, vol. 50, p. 402), Grace (Makin) Sherman had married Thomas Rogers ; and that she had a daughter Eliza- beth by Thomas Rogers. The Dedham Parish Register gives the baptism of Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Rogers, on 16 Nov. 1617. This shows that Grace (Makin) Sherman, whose first husband, John Sherman, was buried at Great Horkesley on 24 Jan. 1616, as shown above, must have married Thomas Rogers within about a year thereafter, and that they were probably living at or near Dedliam when their daughter Elizabeth was baptized.

Mr. and Mrs. Rogers came to Watertown, Mass., about 1630, with Capt. John Sherman and Elizabeth Rogers, who afterwards married Daniel Smith. Richard Sherman remained in England.

Many entries in the Dedham Parish Register are given by Mr. Waters in the Register (vol. 50, p. 415). I have, however, re- cently had this parish register examined by Messrs. Lea and Hutchinson, and some of the entries therein found by them, and not mentioned by Mr. Waters, are given below. These show that the daughter of Henry Sherman of Colchester (will proved 1590, Register, vol. 50, p. 281), who married Nicholas Fynce or Fince, was named Alice, that she died in 1580, and was buried at Dedham on 20 Oct. 1580. William Petfield married another daughter of Henry Sherman.

The following extract from the De Banco Plea Rolls just obtained shows that the Shermans were at Yaxley before 1395, and that Henry Sherman, who died in or prior to that year, owned land there in which, in May 1395, Johan his widow claimed dower against Thomas Sherman, who may have been a son, and others (Roll 538 : 182— Trinity, 18-19 Richard 11. [May, 1395J) :

Suffolk Roger Glendale and Johan his wife, by William Bathe their at- torney, proffer themselves the ^^h day against John Wrenne of Yaxlee, John Dune, Thomas Sharman, Thomas Cokke and Thomas Attehowe of a plea of the third part of twelve acres of land with appurtenances in Yaxlee which they claim in dower, of the dowering of Henry Sharman, formerly her [i. e., Johan's] husband. The Sheriff is ordered to seize the aforesaid third part into the hands of the king.

THE MATERNAL ANCESTRY OF GOVERNOR THOJ^IAS DUDLEY

By Miss Maht Kingsbuhy Talcott of Hartford, Conn.

In the Register, vol. 65, p. 189, attention was called to the discovery of the record of the baptism of Governor Thomas Dudley, which had been announced in the Stokes Records, vol. 1, p. 93, privately printed in 1910. As this discovery was accompanied by the finding of evidence which established beyond any doubt the parentage of Thomas Dudley's mother, it seems advisable to tell the complete story of what has been found.*

Among the entries in the parish register of Yardley Hastings, co. Northampton, is that of the baptism of Thomas Dudley, 12 October 1576, the year in which his baptism would be likely to be recorded, if the statement that has been handed down about his age at death is correct. In the same register is found also the record of the baptism of "Mary Dudley daughter of M'' Dudley" 16 October 1580. The father's Christian name is not given in the baptismal record of either of the cliildren, but the title " M'" " given in the record of Mary Dudley's baptism was bestowed at that period only on men of rank and position. Cotton Mather Avrote that Thomas Dudley's father w^as " Capt. Roger Dudley, who was slain in the wars, when this, his son, and one only daughter were very young," and the Mary Dudley whose baptism is recorded in the register of Yardley Hastings was undoubtedly this "one only daughter" of Capt. Roger Dudley. As Yardley Hastings is only eight miles from Northampton, Cotton Mather's statement that Thomas Dudley " w^as born in the town of Northampton " is proved to be substantially true.

Another important discovery was that of the will of Thomas Dome, or Thorne, of Yardley Hastings, an abstract of which follows.

The Will of Thomas Dorne of Yardley Hastings, Gent., 29 October 1588. To the reparacons of the Churche of Yardley 20s. Towards the

After all legacies are paid and all debts, all the remainder to Edward Dome and Arthur Dome, my sonnes, and they to be Executors. Paule Strelley and William Thorn, Gent., overseers. Proved 9 May 1589. (Northampton Registry of Wills, Book 5, pp. 328-330.)

Additional information about the Thorne, or Dome, family is derived from the following entries in the parish register of Yardley Hastings :

1550 Anna filia Thomae Dome bapt. .

1551 Katherina Dome bapt. 11 September.

1552 Arthuris Dome bapt. 15 May.

1558 Willm Dome bapt. 6 December.

1559 Susanna Dome bajDt. 5 March [1559/60].

1560 Robt Dome bapt. 3 May.

1561 Isabell Thorne bapt. 3 June.

1582 Basill Law and Isabell Thorne maryed 14 January [1582/3]. 1588 Thomas Dome gent buryed 9 November.

Cotton Mather's statement, that Thomas Dudley was aided in obtaining his education by Mrs. Purefoy, "a gentlewoman famed in the parts about Northampton for wisdom, piety and works of charity," and also by Judge Nichols, " being his kinsman also, by

342 Ancestry of Governor Thomas Dudley [Oct.

the mother's side," together with the mention of a Thomas Dudley in the will of John Purefoy, 1579 (Registee, vol. 49, p. 507), had already been regarded as pointing to a connection between the Purefoys and the Dudleys.* It was known also that Mary Purefoy, sister of the above-mentioned John Purefoy, was the wife of Thomae Thorne of Yardley Hastings, and that Thomas and Mary (Purefoy) Thorne had four sons, Anthony [s^c] , Edward, Robert and Thorney, and two daughters, of whom Katherine married Francis Worsley and Susanna, according to the printed pedigrees of the Purefoy family, married a Rogers. (See note by Dean Dudley in Register, vol. 49, pp. 507-508, where his account of the Purefoy family is based on NichoUs's History of Leicestershire, and on the Visitation of Leicestershire in the Publications of the Harleian Society, vol. 2.) But an examination of the original Purefoy pedigree in the British Museum (Harleian MS. 1189, fols. 18, 19) shows that Susanna

Thorne married Roger , a very different statement from that of

the printed pedigTce, which gives to her a husband surnamed Rogers and omits his Christian name. The will of Thomas Dome, or Thorne, supplies the surname that is missing in the Harleian MS., and proves that the husband of Susanna Thorne was Roger Dudley. It is evident, therefore, that Thomas Dudley was descended from the Purefoys through his mother, Susanna Thome, who was a daughter of Mary (Purefoy) Thorne, and was baptized at Yardley Hastings 5 March 1559/60.

Since Susanna (Thorne) Dudley was already a widow on 29 Oc- tober 1588, the date of her father's will, her husband Roger Dudley could not have fallen in the battle of Ivry, 14 March 1590, as some writers have asserted. (Dean Dudley's Supplement to the History of the Dudley Family, p. 8 ; Stokes Records, vol. 1, p. 93.)

The arms of the family of Thorne, alias Dorne, "de Com. North- ton, nuper de Brylowe," are inserted at the end of Harleian MS. 1467, fol. 69, in the British Museum. In Metcalfe's Visitations of Northamptonshire, p. 168, they are given, quartered with Brudenell of Deane, as /Sable, three fu sills in f ess argent. A William Thorne was patron of the living of Yardley Hastings in 1531 (Bridges's Northamptonshire, vol. 1, p. 398), and Bridges says that this was probably during the minority of Peter Compton, son of Sir William Compton, who died 20 Hen. VIII. A William Thorne of Yardley Hastings, probably the man of that name mentioned by Bridges, made his will 8 March 1537, as follows :

To be buried in the church " before the rood." To wife Alys certain lands. To son Thomas all my other lands, my coiDyhold in Yardley, and

* Judge Nicholls, or Nicolls (Sir Augustine Nicolls), a distinguished lawyer and one of the justices of the Court of Common Pleas in the reign of James I, was a son of Thomas Nicolls, a sergeant at law of the Middle Temple, by his wife Anne Pell, daughter of John Pell of Eltington, co. Northampton, Esq. She married for her second liusband Richard Purefoy, brother of the testator of 1579, and was the Mrs. Pnrefoy mentioned by Cotton Mather. A pedigree of NichoUs of Hardwick is printed in Metcalfe's Visitations of Northamptonshire, p. 119.

also in Syersham and other places. To youngest son George £10. To daughter M[torn] 20s. My wife Alys to be executrix. " To my ghostly father, Thomas Smyth, 2s. to jjray for me." Witnesses : brother Nicholas Thorne and Thomas Smyth, parson of Yardley.

The Purefoys were of gentle blood, their pedigree going back to William Purefoy of Misterton, co. Leicester, who was living in the reign of Henry III, and they intermarried with prominent fam- ilies. (See Purefoy pedigrees in the Visitation of Leicestershire and in the Visitation of Buckinghamshire, Publications of the Har- leian Society, vol. 2, pp. 32 fF., and vol. 58, p. 199; and also Lipscomb's County History of Bucks.) Edward Purefoy of Shal- deston, father of Mary (Purefoy) Thorne, was born at Effield 13 January 1494, and died in 1558. Anne Phettiplace, or Fettiplace, his wife, daughter of Richard Phettiplace, or Fettiplace, of Bessels- leigh, CO. Berks, was born at Shelford Parva 16 July 1496, and died 3 August 1558, She belonged to an ancient family whose pedigrees may be found in vol. 1 of the Visitations of Berkshire. (Publications of the Harleian Society, vol. 56.) Thomas Dudley was a page in the family of Lord Compton, afterwards Earl of Northampton, and only the sons of men of good family were ac- cepted as pages in the households of noblemen. The gates of the beautiful park of Castle Ashby, the seat of Lord Compton, and now owned by his descendant, the Marquis of Northampton, open into the quaint little village of Yardley Hastings, and it was certainly most natural that a boy living in the immediate vicinity, the son of an officer who had fallen fighting for his country, should be received into the household at the Castle. Dudley was probably of good descent on his father's side, as well as on his mother's side. The fact that he used the arms of the barons of Dudley implies that he claimed descent fi:om that family, and Adlard (The Sutton-Dudleys, Pedigree D) may be right in tracing his ancestry to Edward, second Baron Dudley.

Thomas Dudley lived in Northampton as a young man, and raised a company of soldiers to join the forces sent by Queen Elizabeth to aid King Henry IV of France and, more especially, to serve at the siege of Amiens. After his return he took up the practice of law and the cares of a family. He married at Hardingstone, near North- ampton, 25 April 1603, Dorothy, daughter of Edmund Yorke* of Cotton End, co. Northampton, yeoman, a man of good family, who in his will, dated 18 November 1614, mentions his grandchildren Samuel and Anne Dudley, and appoints Thomas Dudley one of his overseers. (Register, vol. 47, p. 120.)

It is to be hoped that light may yet be thrown on the paternal ancestry of Governor Thomas Dudley.

10. Thomas Beale was baptized at Biddenden, co. Kent, 25 Mar. 1599, and emigrated to New England as early as 1634, when he appears as a proprietor of Cambridge, Mass. There he settled permanently, was admitted freeman 8 Dec. 1636, held several town offices, and died 7 Sept. 1661. In his will, dated 24 Aug. 1661, he states that he is about 63 years old, and mentions his wife Sarah, his sister

1912] Genealogical Research in England 351

Sarali Wenn,* his cousin [nephew] Richard Post, and several friends. He evidently left no children.

He married in England before 1634 Sarah , whose will,

dated 29 June 1677, and proved 1 Apr. 1679, mentions kinsmen Henry and Richard Frencham [a Biddenden family name], cousin [husband's nephew] Thomas Post and his daughter Elizabeth, sis- ter [m-law Sarah] Wing [Winn], and various friends.

The names of other Beale emigrants to New England are found in the Kentish branches of the family, Abraham, Benjamin, Robert, Edmund, John, and William being names of common occurrence in the Biddenden branch, and Roger, Nathaniel and Joshua in the Cranbrook branch. There was another branch at Graveney, and a very ancient armigerous one at Maidstone. Perhaps from the latter descended the Norfolk branch which furnished the emigrants to Hingham, Mass. The will of Richard Beale, of Cranbrook, mentions brothers living in Suffolk, a county adjoining Nor- folk.—E. F.]

[The Court Files of Middlesex County, Mass., contain a document which affords additional confirmation to the connections between the Posts, Beales, and Winns, as set forth above. On 1 Apr. 1679 Thomas Post petitioned for an allowance from the estate of Mrs. Sarah Beale, of Cambridge, stat- ing that his uncle Thomas Beale sent for him out of his native country, but on arriving at Cambridge he found that his uncle had died and that the latter's widow, his aunt, was a weak invalid; whereupon the petitioner and his wife and daughter cared for her for a long time, and at her request the petitioner went to Woburn to entreat his aunt Winn to come to her, the said Mrs. Beale, etc.

Information derived from various sources in regard to the brothers Rich- ard and Thomas Post may be summarized as follows :

Richard^ Post, son of Richard and Elizabeth (Beale) Post, appeared at Woburn, Mass., as early as 1645, when he was assessed on a rate list, and in 1648 he received a grant of a meadow lot there. In 1672 he was taxed in a rate for the second meeting-house of Woburn. Soon after this date he removed to Mendon, Mass., where he was killed by the Indians in an attack on that town 14 July 1675, during King Philip's War.

He married first at Woburn, 27 Feb. 1649/50, Susanna Sutton, by whom it is not known that he had issue. He married secondly at Woburn, 18 Nov. 1662, Mary^ Tyler, born about 1643, daughter of Job^ and Mary Tyler of Andover, Roxbury, and Mendon, Mass. She married secondly, as his second wife, 1 Mar. 1677/8, John'^ Bridges of Andover, Mass. Children by second wife, born at Woburn :

i. Mary,'* b. 29 Sept. 1664 ; living unmarried at Eowley, Mass., in 1692, when she was tried and condemned for witchcraft, but was later reprieved and released.

ii. Joanna, b. 13 Sept. 1666.

iii. John, b. 14 Apr. 1669; resided at Mendon, where he died, Ms will being proved in 1759.

Thomas^ Post, younger brother of Richard,^ came to New England be- tween 1661 and 1669 and settled at Cambridge, Mass., where he died between 28 Mar. and 7 Apr. 1691. In his will he names as his heirs at law : daughter Rebecca Post, dwelling near Gravesend [co. Kent], England,

* Not Penn, as given in Pope's Pioneers of Massachusetts.

352 Genealogical Research in England [Oct.

grandson Thomas Post, and grandson John Satle [Sawtell]. The name of his wife has not been discovered. Chihlren :

i. A SON,' name unknown, b. in England about 1645-1G50, father of Thomas Post who inherited his grandfatlier's house in Cambridge, Mass., part of whicli he sold to Thomas Moore in 1698.

ii. Rebecca, living at Gravesend, England, in 1691.

iii. Elizabeth, named in her great-aunt's will; m. John' Sawtell {Richard})^ of Cambridge, Mass. They had a sou John^^ named in the will of his grandfather Thomas^ Post, who d. young. John'* Sawtell m. (2) Anna , who survived him.

As a result of the connection with the Beale family it seems evident that the ancestry of Richard Post, father of Richard Post, of Woburn, Mass., and of Thomas Post, of Cambridge, Mass.; should be sought in the Weald of Kent.

NORTHEND

The Will of Jeremiah Northend of Little Weeton in the parish of Rowley, co. York, gent., being very aged, 12 April 1702. Whereas the greater part of my real estate was so settled at my marriage that it will descend upon my eldest son Robert Northend, I therefore do confirm the said settlement and leave the same to descend accordingly. Whereas the greater part of the estate of my late wife Elizabeth Northend is so settled that it will after my decease come to my second son Raljjh Northend, I do therefore coulirm the same. Whereas I have surrendered, according to the custom of the manor of Howden, one cottage with one croft adjoining, and three oxgangs and a half of arable land called Socklow, lying in the fields of Walkiugton in the said county, to the use of such persons as shall be decided hy my last will, and have surrendered to the Manor of the Provest Fee in Walkiugton three oxgangs of arable land called Northfield, lying in the fields of Walkiugton, to the like use, I give the said several lands and tenements above mentioned to my son Ralph Northend, and also my close called Northgate close and three acres of arable land in Walking- ton to my son Ralph. All my goods and chattels, plate, rings, and other my personal estate to my dear and loving sons Robert Northend and Ralph . Northend, whom I make sole executors. [Signed] Jeremiah Northend. [Seal bearing seven stars.] Witnesses : Francis Hawker, Mary Scaley [her mark], andChr: Northend. Entered 15 May 1702, Robert Northend of Little Weighton, Ralph Northend of the same, yeoman, and Thomas Buntor of Cottingham being bound in £1000, 23 April 1702. (Exchequer and Prerogative Court of York, Original Will, 1702.)

The following is from the Registers of Rowley, co. York : " Mr. Jere- miah Northend dyed April 12, 1702; he went with Mr Rogers in to America when about twelve years old and staid there about nine years."

[Jeremiah Northend became an employee in New England of Mr. Wil- liam Bellingham, who left him a bequest by will in 1650, after he had re- turned to England, if the entry in the Registers of Rowley, co. York, is correct. Ezekiel Northend, of Rowley, Mass., was probably a cousin of Jeremiah. — E. F.]

William Veasie was freeman of Braintree 10 May 1643, married Ellinor

, and had children, Hannah, William, Solomon, Elizabeth, Samuel,

Ellen, Abigail, Mehitabel, and Mercy. He died 16 June 1681, aged 65, and 8 July 1683 his widow married John French. She probably died be- fore tliis second husband, as she is not mentioned in the division of his estate in 1692.— E. F.]

They sailed for New England in March 1634/5, and settled at Sci- tuate, Mass. He became freeman of Plymouth Colony 7 Feb. 1637/8, and later moved to Boston, where was bapt. " Sarah of

Lewis of Situate 5 day 11 mo. 1650," and where his wife

died 12 July 1657. He married (2), 22 Nov. 1659, Alice Bishop, widow of Nathaniel, by whom he had Samuel, Joseph, and Benoni. No clue as to his parentage has been obtained. Deaue in his His- tory of Scituate says that he was a brother of George Lewis, who was of East Greenwich in Kent, a place ou the Thames near Lon- don. He certainly was not a native of Tenterden, but probably came to live there for business reasons.

Child by second wife : viii. James, bapt. at Tenterden 26 Dec. 1619 ; buried there 6 Jan. 1619/20.

House The Nuncupative Will of John House, Clarke, parson of Eastwell [co. Kent], made a week before his death, which was 30 August 1630. To my wife Alice all my goods, and I make her my sole executrix. Witnesses : Elizabeth Champion, one of the testator's daughters, Drusilla Howes, and Mris Joane Wallis. Proved 8 September 1630 by the executrix named. (Consistory Court of Canterbury, vol. 49, fo. 306.)

1-623 John Howse of Leneham and Marye Osborne of Ashforde was mar- ried here by license 18 September. Canterbury Marriage License. John House, of Lenham, saddler, bachelor, about 21, at his own government, and Mary Osborne, of Ashford, maiden, about 20, daughter of Edward Osborne late of the same place, yeoman, de- ceased, and now under the government of her mother, Osborne of

the same place, widow, who consents. To be married at Eastwell by reason that Mr. John House [rector and] parson there, father of the said John House, intendeth to give them their wedding dinner. Dated 18 September 1623.

" 20 (5) 1649 Samuel Howse of Scituat Shipwright did constitut &c : Tho : Tarte of the same Merch^. his true and lawful Atf, granting him full power &c : to aske &c : of the Exec &c of the last will & test of Thomas House late of Lond : Watchmaker, all such legacies as due unto the childr of the said appearr by vertue of the s*^ last will, & of the receipt to give acquittance, also to compound & agree, & to appeare before all Lords &c : in any court &c : there to doe say sue &c : & generally to do &c : w*** power to substitut &c : ratifying irrevocably &c : " ( Aspiuwall Nota- rial Records, pp. 224-5.) The will of this Thomas House has not been found in the probate courts having jurisdiction over London, and therefore his relationship to Samuel House the emigrant is uncertain ; possibly he was his elder brother.

[It is evident that Rev. John Howse had older children, who were born before he settled at Eastwell, and among them was a daughter Hannah. On 10 Oct. 1610 a license was issued for the marriage at Eastwell of John Lothropp, M.A., curate of Egerton, and Hannah Howse, of Eastwell, virgin. Their eldest son, Thomas Lothrop, was baptized at Eastwell 21 Feb. 1612/13. This clergyman was Rev. John Lothrop later of Scituate and Barnstable in New England.

Samuel Howse, or House, brother of Hannah, was baptized 10 June 1610, and came to New England in 1634, probably with his brother-in-law. Rev. John Lothrop. He settled at Scituate, where he married late in 1635 Elizabeth Hammond, who was born in England about 1619, daughter of William and Elizabeth (Paine) Hammond of Watertown, Mass. Their eldest child, Elizabeth House, was baptized at Scituate 23 Oct. 1636. In Lothrop 's Scituate Church Records appears this entry : " Elizabeth Hammon my Sister having a dismission from the church at Watertowne was joyned Ajaril 14, 1636." Although here mentioned by her maiden name, this Elizabeth Hammond had certainly been married before this date to Samuel House, and she was called "my sister" by Lothrop clearly because she was the wife of Samuel House, whose sister, Hannah House, had been Lothrop's fii-st wife.

In October 1639 Rev. John Lothrop and part of his Scituate parishioners, including his brother-in-law Samuel House, or Howes, removed to Barn- stable.

In 1639 a Thomas Howes, or House, appears as a proprietor of Yar- mouth, settling in that part of the town now North Dennis, less than five miles from the old Barnstable meeting house. He was a man of good ed- ucation and estate, served several years as deputy, and died in October

1665. He married in England about 1630 Mary , who survived

him and became the fourth wife of Gov. Thomas Prence. (See Register, vol. 59, p. 217.) His children, born in England, were : Joseph, born

358 Genealogical Research in England [Oct,

about 1631, Thomas, born about 1634, and Jeremiah, born about 1637. It seems possible that this Thomas Howes, of Yarmouth, may have been identical with the Thomas Howse who was baptized at Eastwell, co. Kent, 21 Aug. 1607, a son of Rev. John Howse, and therefore an elder brother of Samuel Howse of Scituate and Barnstable in New England.

(Aspinwali Notarial Records, pp. 185-6.) Although Thomas

— J. Gardner Bartlett.]

NOTES

Green-Fiske.— In American Ancestry^ vol. 3, p. 219, it is stated that John Fiske (Edmund Fiske Green) was the son of Edmund Brewster Green and his wife Mary Fiske Bound, born 30 Mar. 1842, died 4 July 1901 ; that his father, Edmund Brewster Greeu, was born in Smyrna, Delaware, 3 Jan. 1815, and died at Panama of the yellow fever, 11 July 1852, where he was employed as an engineer in the building of the trans-isthmian railroad ; that his grandfather was Humphreys Green of Philadelphia, a Quaker, who married Jane Lore, sister of Eldad and Auley Lore, aud that he died about 1857, aged about 100 years.

A correspondent writing to the genealogical department of the New York Mail and Express, over the initials '^L. B. C.," says of Humphreys Green, that he was born in West New Jersey in 1770, and was believed to be of Quaker ex- traction ; that he married first, in 1795, Ann Busby, and secondly, about 1807, Hannah Heaton ; that he removed to Smyrna, Delaware, where Edmund Brews- ter Green was born, and that he lived to be 90 years old, and died in Philadelphia in 1860.

John Fiske's eminence as a man of letters makes more than this desirable, and 1 am able to add something to the meagre stock of knowledge of Humphrey Green, aud to give an account of the Green family of Smyrna, Delaware, from which he may have descended.

An examination of the probate records at Philadelphia discloses that Hum- phrey Green died there intestate, and that his estate was administered by George J. Weaver, his principal creditor, to whom letters were granted 4 Jan. 1850. No distribution was made among heirs as his estate was not sufficient to pay his debts, the assets consisting of one-quarter of a schooner, charts, chrono- meters, etc., the property, evidently, of a sea-faring man.

The Green family of Smyrna descended from William and Mercy Green. In 1713, William Green was the patentee of a tract of land of 1000 acres situated at the intersection of Green's Branch with Duck Creek, on the southwest side, and called " Gravesend " ; and he died prior to 13th 3rd month, 171«. His sons were George, John, and Thomas. The last named died in 1776, and left sons Charles, Thomas, James, John, and William, besides daughters. This family is

Notes 367

closely associated with the beginning of Smyrna (then called Duck Creek Cross Roads), inasmuch as they owned all the land on which the town is built. In the division of the estate, that part on which Smyrna is built fell to the share of James, who soon began to sell land to settlers. Thomas inherited Smyrna Landing on Duck Creek. On 16 Oct. 1765, Charles sold land (a part of " Graves- end"), at which date he was of Penn's Neck, Salem Co., West New Jersey. He married there (and in the marriage license is caUed of Kent Co., Delaware), 9 Apr. 1764, Sarah Sheer.

Nothing further of this family is known to the writer, but here is evidence that one branch of the Green family removed to West New Jersey, where Humphrey Green was born four years after the marriage of Charles Green to Sarah Sheer. The fact that Charles Green retained landed interest in Delaware after removing to West Jersey is sufficient reason for the return there of his descendants, and it seems not improbable that John Fiske was descended from this family.

The Lores, who, according to one account, intermarried with Humphrey Green, are also a family associated with both Delaware and West Jersey. Eldad Lore, born in 1797, died in 1850, was the father of Charles B. Lore, late Chief Justice of Delaware, who was born in West Jersey.

There was another Green family near Smyrna, in Appoquinimink hundred, New Castle Co. "Gravesend" was in Duck Creek hundred, Kent Co., Duck Creek separating the two hundreds. This family was of Maryland origin, being descended from Thomas Green, the second provincial governor of Maryland, succeeding Leonard Calvert. This family had large landed mterests in Delawai'e and on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, in Cecil Co., in Middle Neck, between Little and Big Bohemia rivers. The only association found to exist between them and Humphrey Green is through the Lores. In the will of Dr. Cuthbert Sewell Green, of Appoquinimink hundred, dated 1843, mention is made of a " house on my Maryland farm erected by Eldad Lore."

Eamsden-Savory.— (Savery Genealogy, pp. 16, 18). I am now convinced that the Mary Savory who married Joseph Ramsden at Plymouth, in 1661, was the widow of Anthony who came to Plymouth with Thomas about 1633, and that her maiden name was Mary Sheppard. In the ''Peculiars" of the Dean and Chapter of Sarum* there is recorded the marriage, 10 Dec. 1630, of Anthony Savery of Highworth, baker, twenty-four, and Mary Shepperd of the same, spinster, twenty-two. She would therefore have been fifty-three when she mar- ried Ramsden. Can any Ramsden genealogist verify or disprove this?

I am sure, also, that I wrote carelessly in my statement on p. IG that Thomas was probably the elder of the two. He was probably not of age when Anthony was enrolled a freeman, in 1633, for his first child was not born till 1644. High- worth and Hannington are adjoining parishes in Wiltshire.

Historical Intelligence

Genealogies in Preparation. — Persons of the several names are advised to furnish the compilers of these genealogies with records of their own families and other information which they think may be useful. We would suggest that all facts of interest illustrating family history or character be communicated, especially service under the U. S. Government, the holding of other offices, grad- uation from college or professional schools, occupation, with places and dates of birth, marriage, residence, and death. All names should be given in full if possible. No initials should be used when the full name is known.

ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT

Meivibees of the

New England Historic Genealogical Society AND Friends :

It has been the custom since the organization of this Society for the President to present an Annual Address. It has also been the custom for all the Committees to present reports, as well as the Council. The Council's Report of necessity had to repeat a great deal in the Committees' reports, and as there was nothing for the President to base an address upon but the reports of the Society, he always found himself somewhat embarrassed. The result was that he selected the salient points in the reports which had already been read twice to the Society, and to prevent his audience from yawning, or leaving the room, he was obliged to present them in as new and attractive form as possible. This, however, would not quite relieve his embarrassment, and he found it necessary to add a brief exposition of some popular subject. In process of time the custom of reading all the reports was found to be so burdensome to the patience of the Society that this was abolished and the reports printed ; still, the President, if he followed in the old rut, would have to base his address upon these printed reports, and so his embarrassment was not wholly removed, nor the members of the Society who had read the reports already in their possession, from more or less unnecessary repetition.

We happen to have a Recording Secretary who is remarkably clever in solving problems, and he suggested that, instead of the old form of address, I give a talk on Books and Libraries. I con- cluded to accept his suggestion. If he made a mistake you must put the blame upon him. Suggestive people should always bear the penalty if they suggestively blunder, as we know from the Ap- ple episode in our earliest literature.

This has been weU denominated a literary age, though never be- fore has so much work of a mediocre quality been thrown from the press. There is no doubt, however, that reading has become a pas- sion with the masses, and a fine art with the cultivated few, so a little gossip concerning books and libraries, and other corelated matters, may not be considered untimely.

The art of printing is comparatively modern. It was not until the year 1454 that the first specimen of printing from movable types was produced. This was an indulgence of Pope Nicholas V to those who should contribute money to aid the king of Cyprus in conducting a war against the infidel Turk, and was printed by John Gutenberg. Previous to this time books in Europe were in manu- script, many of which were most beautifully executed. Collections of these books are to be found in the principal museums of the world, many of the finest specimens being worth a king's ransom.

But all books were not made in this way. Some of the people of antiquity inscribed their thoughts on tables of clay, tiles, and cylinders, which were hardened by exposure to heat.

The so called volumes in the great library at Alexandria were scrolls. This library is said to have contained at one time a hun- dred thousand volumes, one scroll often containing a number of volumes. For some time previous to the invention of movable types, a few books had been printed in Europe from carved blocks of wood, which were smeared with thin ink, after which sheets of paper were laid upon them and rubbed until an impression was obtained.

I have said that the first specimen of type printing known in Eu- rope bears the date of 1454. It is known, however, that the art of block and type printing was practiced in China many centuries be- fore this date, and the question is still unsettled, whether Gutenberg was an inventor of movable types, or, having heard of the invention of the Chinese, imitated it.

The public library, as now known, is of comparatively recent origin. When the first settlement was made at Jamestown by New- port, and at the mouth of the Kennebec by Popham, there was not a public library in all England. Norwich claims the honor of having established the earliest in 1608, and it is still flourishing.

As books multiplied, and the love for reading increased, subscrip- tion libraries began to be formed to meet the public demands. These were only established in the most populous places, the earliest being opened to the public in Edinburgh in 1725, more than a century af- ter the landing of the Pilgrims upon our shores. These subscrip- tion libraries became extremely popular, and proved of great benefit to the communities where they existed, by creating a taste for good literature, and encouraging a demand for free public libraries, but few of which existed in England. It was not, however, until 1753 that the great library of the British Museum was founded, which has been declared to be the greatest literary event of the 18th century.

To George II the world is indebted, more than to any other man, for this greatest of libraries. Since its beginning it has been re- ceiving vast acquisitions, and may well be called a " World of Books." Having spent in it many monllis, devoting especial attention to its departiiicnt of history, 1 became quite familiar witli its other depart- ments and their working. The great reading room, in which hun- dreds of people are alvfays at work at small desks, is circular in

ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT XI

form, and surmounted by a dome 140 feet in diameter, and 106 feet in height. With its surrounding book departments it contains 2,000,000 cubic feet of space. It is the most magnificent reading room in the world, and, as one stands within it, surrounded by its seemingly numberless volumes, he is dull indeed who is not stu-red to admiration at the sight. Under the dome is a great circidar desk, around which, perhaps, fifty people can stand to consult the index volumes which occupy shelves beneath it, and, inside the circle are a number of attendants to receive the order-slips for books which bear the numbers of the applicants' desks, which are ranged around the circular desk filling the room. At these desks the books are in a very short space of time delivered. The Indexes — for the Museum had no card catalogue — when I was there comprised 1200 volumes, of course alphabetically arranged.

The Newspaper Department is a mine of historical interest. When one considers the fact that this great collection of newspapers com- prises the leading journals of more than three centuries, he can form some idea of its extent. The date of the first newspaper is March 19, 1603, and I carefully examined the files to the end of the cen- tury to find references to America. For many years these papers had but four pages of the size of six or eight inches, and bore va- rious stilted names, as the Mercurius-Civicus, London's InteUigeu- cer, Mercurius-Britianicus, Mercurius-Pragmaticus, and others.

The publishers of books throughout the kingdom are obliged by law to donate to the Museum a copy of every book and pamphlet they publish ; besides, books from all parts of the world are pur- chased. Dm-ing the year that I was at the Museum over 30,000 numbers were added to the catalogue. Everything which can possibly be useflil to students is gathered into this wonderful library. When one considers the ceaseless stream of books, newspapers, and other printed matter flowing into this vast reservoir of knowedge, he can but wonder how the problem of space suflicient to hold it is eventu- ally to be solved.

The influence of this great public library has been felt the world over, especially, of course, in England. Long before its establish- ment, free libraries had been formed in a number of the principal towns, the owners of large private libraries frequently bequeathing their books to the towns in which they resided ; but the fame of the British Museum extending through the empire gave an impetus to the formation of free libraries, and, aided by the Museum oflficials, they soon began to multiply rapidly.

Nothing exerts a greater educational influence upon a community than a public library. This fact has been recognized by many of the best writers. Before the formation of such libraries books were out of the reach of the laboring man, but, with the formation of a free library in a neighborhood, everybody began to read who could, and those who could not were stimulated to learn.

xii N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

In our country the Public Library has found its most congenial home. At first the poverty of the people prevented their early es- tablishment, but as wealth increased their growth was rapid, and now almost every community of any importance possesses its public library.

Education with us, more than with any other people in the world, is a dogma, the soundness of which no one is bold enough to ques- tion, and to education the Public Library ministers more than any other agency. This is the belief of Mr. Carnegie, who has devoted himself more than any other man has to founding such libraries. He has told us how the grain of mustard seed was sown, which has grown into this manificent tree. He says, " When I was a boy in Pittsburg, Colonel Anderson of Alleghany, a name I can never speak without feelings of devotional gratitude, opened his little li- brary of 400 books to boys. Every Saturday afternoon he was in attendance himself to exchange books. No one but he who has felt it, can know the intense longing with which the arrival of Saturday was awaited, that a new book might be had. My brother, and Mr. Phipps, who have been my principal business partners through life, shared with me Colonel Anderson's precious generosity ; and it was when revelling in these treasures that I resolved, if ever wealth came to me, that it should be used to establish free libraries, that other poor boys might receive opportunities similar to those for which we were indebted to that noble man " ; and he further says, " The result of my study of the question, what is the best gift that can be given to a community? is, that a free library occupies the first place, provided the community will accept and maintain it as a public in- stitution, as much a part of the city property as its public schools and, indeed, an adjunct to these."

A few words now about books and book collectors :

Some of the most valuable collections of books have been made by private individuals, and a class of book hunters has grown up, many of them eminent for their knowledge, not only of every rare book which has been printed, but of its condition and ownership ; that is, of those extremely rare books of which there are but a few copies in existence. The late Henry Stevens of Vermont, as he styled him- self, but whose residence was London, was one of the most noted book hunters in the world, and, although he received large sums from Mr. Lenox, who established the splendid collection of Amer- icana in New York, he impoverished himself by his purchases for his own use, and especially by the costly bindings with which he adorned his favorites. In this department his taste was faultless, and many of his bindings, of which I possess a number, were works of art. Quaritch, also of London, was his rival, and his "Pocket Catalogue," as he facetiously called it, was much larger than Web- ster's Unabridged Dictionary. On this catalogue were books priced as high as $4,000. With both of these men I was acquamted, as well as with Benjamin Stevens, the brother of Henry, and his equal

ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT xiii

in the knowledge of Americana. When in London I often met them at Sotheby's sales. Sotheby's place was, and is, the great mart of rare books in London. When any especially rare collection of books comes into the hands of an administrator it is sent there, and collectors from all parts of the world assemble to pick up such nuggets as they want to complete their collections.

One would suppose that a place where so much valuable literary property is disposed of would be fairly comfortable for purchasers, but the Englishman seems to regard comfort as something to be wholly dissociated from business. Sotheby's salesroom is a bare, dim, and forbidding room, at the end of which is a long table of plain pine upon which sits, or stands, the auctioneer, to whom the books are passed by an attendant. All imperfections are frankly stated at the outset, and bids are asked for. On one occasion both Quaritch and Stevens were present. The day was cold and the room unheated. Quaritch had brought a rug, which was what we would call a horse blanket, and in this he swathed himself, and sit- ting upon a stool bid for such books as he wanted, and every book he wanted he bought, apparently regardless of price. A copy of Way mouth's voyage to the coast of Maine was offered, a book which originally cost a couple of sliillings. His first bid for it was a hun- dred pounds. I was surprised, but the price continued to mount up ten pounds at a time until he bought it at 275 pounds. Afterwards he offered it to me for 300 guineas.

Sometunes, when a very rare book was offered, Sotheby would ask Stevens what he knew about it. Such an inquiry was made when a copy of Smith's Voyage to New England was placed upon the table. Stevens merely glancing at it stated where pages had been mended, letters or lines restored in facsimile, and various other restorations, which would puzzle anyone but an expert to de- tect. The book jockey is far more skilful than the horse jockey. He will make a perfect copy of a rare book from fragments of sev- eral copies, replace pages or engravings with facsimiles, wash and starch crumpled and soiled leaves, and even place them in old bind- ings, making them almost as good as new. They are all, however, genuinely old books. At Sotheby's I saw sold Keats's love letters, a small package of little yellow notes tied with a ribbon. They brought a pound each, and specimens are in collections in this coun- try which were retailed for two pounds. Poor Keats would have been glad to have supplied such notes at six pence apiece.

An old book is sometimes found masquerading under different titles. Take the case of Johnson's Wonder Workino; Providence, now a very rare work. The publisher, failing to dispose of the en- tire edition, afterwards substituted a new title page ; namely, "America Painted to the Life," and foisted it upon the public as a new work, written by Sir Ferdinando Gorges. The spurious book is now very rare and commands a high price. An excellent copy is in the John Carter Brown Library.

xiv N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

The fascination of book collecting is great, and one soon finds the reading of catalogues, issued from time to time by the houses which gather rare books for sale, among his most interesting occu- pations. As these catalogues are sent to me from all parts of Europe, especially England, Germany and France, I think I do not exaggerate when I say that I read, on an average, two a week through the year.

The possession of some books of extreme rarity is not always safe, as there are real bibliomaniacs who cannot resist the tempta- tion to purloin them if opportunity offers.

I will relate an interesting case told me by Jones of Boston. One day a clergyman, and well known as a bibliomaniac, while looking over a rare book in Jones's shop remarked to him that he had been extremely lucky m picking up in a book-stall a copy of Roger Wil- liams's Key for a quarter of a dollar. Jones told liim that it seemed impossible for anyone to be so ignorant as to sell a book worth a couple of hundred dollars, or more, for such a price, and it made such an impression upon him that when Dr. Smith visited him the next day he called attention to the incident. Dr. Smith's reply was that the story was a fiction. A few days later Jones missed one of his rare books from the case in which it was kept locked, and asked his clerk about it. He was informed that he last showed it to the Rev. Mr. Stubbs. "O!" said Mr. Jones, " Mr. Stubbs could not have taken it, you must have shown it to some one else." He, however, told Dr. Smith, when he next called, of his loss, and the statement of his clerk. The Doctor at once said, " I believe Stubbs took it, if he is a clergyman, and if he has a Roger Vv^il- liams Key he told you the story of having purchased it at a book- stall in order to account for his ownership of it. I'll wager if he has the Key he took it from the Somerset Library which has a copy, and to which he is a frequent visitor. I am going there to- morrow and you had better come along with me, and see if we can- not find your missing book." Jones consented to this, and arriving at the Somerset Library, Dr. Smith called for Roger Williams's Key. The Librarian was gone for some time, and then returned with a troubled expression, announcing that it had disappeared. "Has any one examined it lately ? " " No," said the Librarian, " but quite a while ago I was showing it to Rev. Mr. Stubbs, who was much interested in it." "Where does he live?" asked the doctor, and being directed to his place of residence, he and Mr. Jones proceeded there, and found the reverend gentleman at home. After a little pleasant conversation the doctor asked to see the bargain which he had purchased, and was, as he noticed, somewhat reluctantly shown the book. The doctor examined it carefully, and although the library marks had been carefully removed he felt sure that it was the copy belonging to the Somerset Library, and without hesitation charged Stubbs with having stolen it, as well as the book from Jones. Stubbs, who had shown embarrassment from the first, be-

ADDEESS or THE PRESIDENT XV

came greatly confused but denied the theft ; however, upon a threat to call in an officer, he broke down, and under pledge of secrecy acknowledged the charge and produced Jones's missing book, and also a copy of Lucy Crawford's History of the White Mountains, which he had also taken from Jones's shop. The sequel to the aftair is painful. In some way the story leaked out, and one Sunday, when Mr. Stubbs was preaching in Brookline, it was printed in the Bos- ton Herald, and as his audience came out of church, after listen- ing to a most edifying discourse, they were shocked to hear the newsboys bruiting his shame to the world.

To prevent the loss of books in the early libraries they were chained to a rod passing across the front of the shelves, the chain being secured to the back of the book.

In the British Museum, one is only allowed to use the rarer books under the supervision of an attendant, and I have spent hours in the uncongenial company of men whom it was advisable to tip in order to receive polite service.

In the office of the Public Records, that great depository of historic treasures, where I passed some months in the study of documents relating to the Tudor and Stuart reigns and our Colonial period, having received a special permit to inspect the unindexed documents in the dim lofts of the jail-like building, I worked under the eye of a suspicious guardian, who, however, was of assistance, as he held a lantern when I required it as I often did. A large portion of the documents in this department, with dates attached in large figures to different gToups, were parchments, stained and worn by age and un- pleasant to handle, so I dispatched my work as expeditiously as possible, no doubt to the regret of my guardian, whose tips were 80 much extra gain. I have since thought with some regret how I missed a notable find. I allude to the discovery in the same place by Prof. Wallace of the Shakspere documents which have awakened 80 much interest. It is quite likely that they passed through my hands unnoticed, as my mind at the time was on Colonial matters. I content myself, however, with the reflection that it was not for me to find all the interesting things, and it has done Wallace a lot of good.

In the office of the Public Records, exposed in a glass case, is the great Domesday Book, which bears the date 1086. It is in two large quarto volumes bound in vellum, and is as sacred to English- men as our Constitution is to us.

Many of the rarest and most costly books relate to the early his- tory of America ; Hakluyt and Purchas being not only rare and costly but the most useful ones, for these great works are the foun- dations of our earliest history. Jt is not easy to find perfection, and tall copies of the originals are rare, most of them being cut close to margins, or defective in some particular. A firstrate copy of Purchas is worth from $600 up. The late Charles Deane told me that his copy cost him $800 many years ago. The Hakluyt

xvi N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

Society reprinted Hakliiyt's Voyages some time since at a cost of about $75.

There are many rare bibles like the Breeches Bible, so called be- cause the translator says that our first parents made for themselves breeches, instead of aprons of fig leaves. A good copy of Cranmer's, or Wyckliffe's, bible is excessively rare, and in sound condition is a treasure indeed.

Among the most notable recent literary productions are those of the Kelmscott Press, founded by the poet William Morris. They are printed in archaic, black-letter type, with specially designed borders, and a set was recently priced to me at $4000, a price which was considered low.

Perhaps the most valuable private collection of rare Americana in this country is that made by John Carter Brown. After Mr. Brown's death it came into the possession of his son, John Nicholas Brown, who kept up the traditional generosity of his father, and was ever ready to give to historical students and book-lovers free access to his treasures. When I was editing Gorges's Brief Rela- tion he sent me his original copy by which to correct my proof, a privilege rarely granted by collectors of books of such rarity.

Among the rare things which he delighted to show were several copies of the letter of Columbus. It happened that a copy came into the market and was sold by Bangs of New York, and Mr. Brown paid something like $2000 for it. The publication of this excessive price called out another copy, and Mr. Brown not wanting any other collector to acquire it bought this. As he told me the story he brought out a third copy, and laughingly said, " I was rather surprised when a third copy came upon the market, but I had to buy it." This exhausted the supply, but Mr. Brown locked up a considerable sum of money in a rather trivial affair. For a rude but interesting sketch on a sheet about as large as a page of foolscap, made by Champlain, near Old Orchard, as I remember it, he told me he paid over a thousand dollars.

A word about the John Carter Brown Library. Nicholas Brown, the third of that name, was a born bibliomaniac, having inherited a love of books through several generations. In the library is the first book published by his maternal ancestor, John Carter, which bears upon its cover, "Bot at Doctr Gibb's vendue July 1, 1769." It is a copy, now very rare, of Samuel Sewall's "Apocalyptica," printed in 1767.

Nicholas Brown began his collection at an early age, and in his favorite pursuit embarrassed himself financially, and found it neces- sary to dispose of his precious library. His younger brother, John Carter Brown, came to his assistance, and for $10,000 purchased it. He also had inherited a passion for collecting, and at once began to add to his purchase, and later secured the services of Henry Stevens, of whom I have spoken. This eccentric book-hunter, who described himself as " Henry Stevens, G.M.B., otherwise Green Mountain

ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT XVll

Boy, or, of Vermont, Bibliographer and Lover of Books, Fellow of (various learned societies). Black Balled Athenaeum Club of Lon- don, also Patriach of Skull and Bones of Yale, and Member of (various historical societies), B.A. & M.A. of Yale College, as well as Citizen of Noviomagus, et cetera," was also the agent of James Lenox, and to these two collectors he forwarded all the rarest books, maps, prints and manuscripts which he was able to secure, giving by a mutual understanding " the first pick," as he said, to Brown, who, in book hunting, was also personally engaged. So determined was Mr. Brown to build up a complete library of rarest books that he said, near the close of his career, " After I had made up my mind to go on with the acquisition of books on American history, I should not tliink that I ever lost a book which I wanted ; and I have met in competition Russian princes and collectors from all parts of the world." Many instances of Mr. Brown's experience in book hunting have been related, one of a little clash between him and Mr. Lenox in securing a copy of the Columbus letter, to which I have alluded, and of which there are now five copies in the library. Brown secured it from Stevens, who at the same time had re- ceived an order from Lenox to purchase it for him at Sotheby's, but, to avoid any feeling, he politely sent it to his rival. It was a long time before he could find another, and when he did he had to pay many times the price at which he had first purchased. Says Stevens, in relating his own experience in prosecuting his favorite pursuit, " The world outside of book hunting may smile at the eagerness for the first choice, but such a smile of pity will most likely vanish away in complaisance, on becoming acquainted with the fact, that after forty years in sighting and chasing book rarities, I found that a very large number of the choicest historical and bi- bliographical nuggets relating to the Age of Discovery, with the exploration and development of the New World, occurred but once in my time in the market for sale. Happy he who becomes the winner in such a chase."

Perhaps I may be permitted to say a few words about my own experiences in collecting. Thirty years ago, the Trelawny man- uscripts having come into my hands, I became so interested in such historic material that I conceived the idea of especially devoting myself to its collection, and began by securing the services of the late David Pulsifer of Boston, an expert in deciphering old docu- ments. Mr. Pulsifer was in my employ for several years, and tran- scribed everything that he could find in the Massachusetts Archives relating to early Maine affairs up to about 1783.

Shortly after undertaking this work, I determined to devote a year, or two years if necessary, to gathering supplemental material myself in England and France. With letters of introduction to per- sons who could give me, or procure for me, the entree to the various depositories of the material I desired to study, I established myself in London, and began my work in the British Museum and Office

XVIU N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

of tlie Public Records, to which I was personally introduced by the Rev. Frederick Brown of Beckenham, Kent, to whom I had letters, and who smoothed my way to the inner sanctuaries of these two in- stitutions, in which I worked through the autumn and winter, examining manuscripts relating to America from its earliest ex- ploration by the English up to and including the Revolution, giv- ing especial attention to New England, and still more especial attention to Maine. The months spent in these institutions hunting for documents I needed to complete my collection, and making in- dexes to them, which were passed weekly to copyists who transcribed what I had found, and the following summer which I spent in other private and public archives in England and the Bureau of Marine and Colonies in Paris, were, though I have pursued my researches ever since, among the happiest of my life, and I would like nothing better than to repeat them.

One who has not engaged in such research cannot well understand the keen enjoyment which the finding of a rare nugget occasions. One of my first joys was the discovery of the Waymouth Manuscript in a department of the Museum called the King's library, in which I scored a point on Henry Stevens. I had secured the especial serv- ices of one of the assistant librarians of the Museum, Mr. Kensing- ton, whom I shall always remember for his friendly interest in my work, and in his hands I placed a list of names of men about whom I wanted to find particulars, as well as the titles of events which I wanted to study. My directions to him were to find me every doc- ument in the Museum which in any way related to them, a task by no means a light one. Of course my list comprised the names of persons about whom I had little hope of finding anything, and, in- deed, did not; but, as I told Mr. Kensington, by throvdng out a drag net I might get a pearl.

One morning when I sat down to the desk which had been as- signed me in the Museum he came to me and said, " I have found the name of George Waymouth in a collection of papers of the time of Henry the Eighth, but, of course, this was long before your Way- mouth's time ; I thought, however, that I would speak to you about it." I replied that I had better look at it anyhow, and see what it was about, so I followed him into the Manuscript department and examined the document, which I found related to ships and was signed George Waymouth. The treatment of the subject reminded me of a document I had seen written by Sir Walter Ralegh, who was a contemporary of Waymouth. I was acquainted with Way- mouth's writing, and after reading it remarked that the document was misplaced, not having been written in Henry Eighth's time, as could be seen by careful examination. This, of course, inter- ested him, and after studying it he said, " You are right," and he had me write a few words calling attention to the misplacement of the document, which he placed with it. Of course I secured a copy of it, but I was puzzled, for Waymouth was supposed to be a

ADDRESS or THE PRESIDENT XIX

rough and uneducated adventurer, and this document revealed an entirely different kind of man. Some days after, Mr. Kensington came to me and said, " Come into the Manuscript Department, pos- sibly I have found something to interest you." I followed him, and he took down a large manuscript volume elegantly bound and laid it before me, entitled the " Jewell of Artes," by George Waymouth, which was a present by him to James First. " I do not know as this is of any interest to you," said Kensington, "but as you in- structed me to call your attention to anything possibly relating to your subjects I thought I would show it to you." That day was an exciting one to me, for I found that it was not only written by the author of the former document which I had discovered, but that it was the work of my George Waymouth. I immediately procured an expert to copy and make facsimiles of the numerous drawings which the book contained, and the binder of the Museum had espe- cial tools made that he might make for me a facsimile binding of the original.

The discovery of this book revolutionized opinions regarding Waymouth, and revealed him as a man of scientific attainments. Dr. Hill, former president of Harvard College, who devoted a con- siderable time to a critical study of the book, pronounced it to be a remarkable production. Some months after this find I was in Henry Stevens's place, and his son said to me, "My father is confined at home and wants me to ask you if you know anything about this," handing me a newspaper clipping from a New York paper. To my surprise, it was an account of "A discovery by an American of a remarkable manuscript written by George Waymouth, one of the first explorers of the Coast of Maine." "My father," said Stevens, " cannot credit this, for he says he does not believe there is such a manuscript in the Museum relating to Waymouth ; if there had been, he would have found it ; but as you are the only American working there on his lines, he desired me to ask you what it means." When I told him that it was true, and where his father could see the vol- ume, as well as the other document which I had found, he remarked that he thought that his father would be much surprised, as he thought that he had gathered everything relating to Waymouth.

Of course I made other delightful finds, notably over a hundred original letters of Sir Ferdinando Gorges, since published by the Prince Society of Boston, which greatly aided in throwing light upon the life of the Father of American Colonization. I had learned from the Royal Manuscripts Commission, who for many years have been engaged in preparing calendars of State Papers in private col- lections, of the existence of letters of Gorges at Hatfield House, and procured a letter of introduction to its owner, who kindly gave me permission to inspect the manuscripts there, and ordered one of his private secretaries, Mr. Gunther, to make transcripts of any which I wanted. My experience at Hatfield House was most interesting,

XX. N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

and I was enabled to inspect some of the most interesting historic material in existence, notably the celebrated casket letters of Mary Queen of Scots, which Queen Elizabeth's great Prime Minister, Lord Burghley, Salisbury's ancestor, has been accused of tamper- ing with, to the undoing of the much misunderstood Queen of Scots.

While I am on this special subject it may not be amiss to allude to the finding of Sir Ferdinando Gorges's coat of arms. I had ut- terly failed to find his portrait, though I had visited Long Ashton, Ashton Phillipps, Charlton Manor, Bristol, and Plymouth, all his old-time haunts, inspected the Gorges portraits at Hampton Court, some one of a number of which, unidentified, may be his, and con- sulted some of the most noted portrait specialists in London, and hav- ing failed in this search, turned my attention to his coat of arms, which had been sought for many years by family connections and others, and often advertised for in the London Notes and Queries, which has a wide circulation among antiquarians. My first thought was to con- sult my friend Brown, so I went to the Beckenham Rectory and asked his advice. "There is but one place that I think offers any hope," he said, " and that is the Heralds' College, and the only man who can help you there is Mr. Tucker, Somerset Herald at Arms. I, and others, have failed to get him to make a search, but you are an American, and if you can get the right kind of an introduction you may get his ear where an Englishman, owing to official exclu- siveness, might fail."

The next person I consulted was Mr. Noel Sainsbury of the Roll's Office, with whom I had formed a warm friendship. He knew John A. Poor, the pioneer in building the Grand Trunk Railroad as well as a student of history, and read to me some of his letters. To my delight he exclaimed, " Why, I know Tucker, and will give you a letter to him, but don't bother him until just after lunch, when he will be in the best of humor." I followed Sainsbury's in- structions, which no doubt were wise, and was ushered into Mr. Tucker's august presence just as he had lighted his after-lunch cigar. Having read Mr. Sainsbury's note he invited me to sit down, and after some conversation he said, " I see you want to find the arms of Sir Ferdinando Gorges for historical purposes. I don't know where it is, but if anywhere it should be here. It will require a special and difficult search, and may not be found, but I will see what can be done," and he rang a bell. A young man presented himself whom he addressed in the curt English way, " Mr. Ebble- white, this is an American gentleman who wants the arms of Sir Ferdinando Gorges, early seventeenth century. I want you to find it for him " ; and then to me, " If you call two weeks hence at this place I will report to you." When I next visited him he called Ebblewhite, who informed hira that he had found the arms, and presented a tricking of them, which Mr. Tucker passed to me with the words, " This is what you want," and bade me a good afternoon.

ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT XXI

A portion of the summer was passed visiting various places to inspect church registers, and local collections. Thirlestane House at Cheltenham, which contained the literary and artistic treasures of Sir Thomas Phillipps, was visited, an inspection of which cost a guinea a day, and an affidavit that I was not a Roman Catholic, of whom Sir Thomas cherished a dislike. Here Catlin, the painter of American Indians, found a home while in England, and here was his collection of paintings. I was, however, especially interested in the manuscripts, and devoted myself to them. It was in this col- lection that President Woods made his valuable find of the original manuscript of Hakluyt's Westei-n Planting. His attention was called to it by Halliwell-Phillipps, and it was subsequently pub- lished by the Maine Historical Society, forming volume 2 of its Documentary Series. I was not, however, as fortunate as Presi- dent Woods, though I felt well repaid for the time I spent at Cheltenham.

In talking with the son-in-law of Phillipps, I alluded to Halli- well, who was familiar with the library of Thirlestane House, and the fame he had since acquired in literature. "Yes," was the reply, " he was a fine fellow and just such a man as Sir Thomas liked, but he and Henrietta Phillipps, the youngest daughter, fell in love, and he drove him out of the house ; but Henrietta was a girl of spirit, and married Halliwell in spite of her father, and he never forgave her. When he was on his death bed we urged him to see and for- give her, and he muttered '^IsTever.' When the end approached we had his daughter come and stand near him, and I said, ' Sir Thomas, here is Henrietta, will you forgive her?' and with almost his last breath he whispered, 'No.'" Halliwell, after the death of his father-in-law, took the family name, after which all his works bore on the title page HalliiDell-Phillipjjs,

Another place I visited was Stogumber. It will be remembered that George Cleeve named Portland Neck, Stogomor. No one had known the reason why. It had Ijeen supposed to be an Indian name, and the Rev. Father O'Brien, who was a student of the Abenakian tongue, had tried to find for me its meaning, but without success. It occurred to me to examine the oldest topographical work in the British Museum, and in it I found that the modern Stogumber was 80 spelled at an early day, so, having several places to visit in tliii!: part of England, I added Stogumber to my itinerary, for I had come to believe that either Cleeve or Tucker, his partner, whose Eng- lish homes were unknown, were in some way associated with the town the name of which had been applied to Portland Neck. Mr. Browne had informed me that Vicar Jones of Stogumber had been found by him to be a very disagreeable man, as he had several times written him to get items from his church registers, and been curtly answered that he had no time to bother with such matters. It was about nine o'clock when I reached the vicarage, where I presented my letter of introduction to the vicar's wife, who informed me that her husband

Xxii N. E. HISTOEIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

was not up, but would see me at ten o'clock, and that I would find the church and old burying ground very interesting, as I did. At the proper hour I again presented myself at the rectory and was asked into the presence of the vicar, a comparatively young man, helpless from rheumatism. His suffering was evident, and explained his curt letters to Mr. Browne. When I explained to him that I be- lieved that a former member of his parish had honored it by be- stowing its name upon a place in the New A¥orld, he sent for the register I desired to inspect. Sitting by this suffering man, who stared at me uncomfortably while I pursued my search for what to him must have seemed of very trivial importance, I did not enjoy my task as usual, but I was rewarded by having the truth of my theory confirmed, for I found the record of Richard Tucker's birth, which proved that Portland Neck was named for his birth place.*

Among other things, I was searching for materials respecting Christopher Levett, the pioneer settler of Portland, to which he gave the name of York, his native city, some years before Cleeve aud Tucker named it Stogomor.

I had found among the Conway Papers an extraordinary proclama- tion by the King, ordering the churches of York to take up a contri- bution to aid Levett, his "well beloved subject," in erecting a fort to protect his proposed colony, and Avas keen on the scent for other items concerning the man about whom comparatively little was known, for after leaving the nucleus of his little colony on House Island in Port- land Harbor he suddenly disappeared from sight. This disappear- ance was soon accounted for by finding that, failing to secure people bold enough to take part in his colonial project, he sought and ob- tained a commission under Lord Wimbledon in the unfortunate ex- pedition against Cadiz. After this expedition he renewed his at- tempts, but again disappeared from sight. What became of him had been asked but the question never answered. An item in Win- throp's Journal recording the author's landing at Salem on June 12th, 1630, had occasioned much speculation. It was as follows : " jNIr. Pierce came aboard us and returned to fetch Mr. Endicott, who came to us about two of the clock, and with him Mr. Skelton and Capt. Levett."

Was this Christopher Levett? Avas asked and negatived, and it was acknowledoed that those on the neg-ative side had the best of the argument. There was another item in Winthrop's Journal in which he says that letters he had sent home just after his arrival had been " Intercepted by occasion of the death of Capt. Levett who carried them, and died at sea." Had Winthrop said Christopher instead of " Capt. Levett," we should have known Avhat became of this interesting pioneer in Casco Bay, but the general verdict was that Winthrop's Levett was doubtless another man.

*Iu 1668/9 Mar. 24, he gave his age as " about 60," and he died in 1678. Did he un- derstate his age ? The question at present cannot be answered.

ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT xxili

Imagine my feelings when I found that seven months after Win- throp met Capt. Levett in Salem Harbor, and who, he says, had died at sea, this was recorded of him in the Probate Records of Bristol : " Frances, the widow of Christopher Levett, administered on his effects, January 23rd, 1630."* His eifects were his sea chest and other things brought to Bristol on the ship which he commanded. So it was proved that Winthrop's Capt. Levett dropped out of sight by death before Cleeve and Tucker took possession of the territory upon which the dream of his life had been to found a col- ony which would forever perpetuate his name. So fail man's airy dreams of power and fame.

Of course, when it becomes known that a man is a collector of anything his attention is being constantly called to valuable material. One day I received a letter from Dr. Green of the Massachusetts Historical Society, enclosing a letter from Justin Winsor, informing me that he had seen a manuscript Journal of Capt. Mowat, who destroyed Portland, which I might want. I immediately ordered it ; perhaps, I thought, it was the manuscript that Mr. Willis tried so hard to find in 1843. He had seen it on Rodd's catalog^ue and ordered it, but received the reply that it was sold to an unknown person. Every effort to trace it by Mr. Willis failed. One after- noon the manuscript I had ordered came in the mail just as I was leaving to attend a meeting of the Maine Historical Society. It was indeed the long lost manuscript, but I left it at home to read at leisure. Judge Williamson had the paper upon a Revolutionary subject, and, as he closed, called attention to the manuscript which Willis had failed to find, and stated that he himself had advertized in the London Times offering a reward for any information respect- ing its whereabouts. When he had finished, and was informed that he should see the manuscript after the meeting, his surprise and ex- citement could hardly be suppressed.

But I must not continue these experiences of success, which must appear trivial to many who do not realize that it is only by com- bining such items of knowledge that correct history can be written. It may perhaps be well to say that the hunter for such items has many failures. Three only will I record. I had found that Way- mouth, whose Jewell of Artes I have spoken of, was, before his voyage to Maine, in the employ of the East India Company, and provided with a letter by Mr. Sainsbury to Mr. Danvers, of the India House, I went there hoping to find Waymouth's log book, which would have afforded invaluable historical material. Mr. Danvers in response to my request to show anything relating to Waymouth, brought me the Court Records of the Company, which contained a number of items of interest since published, and, after farther search, informed me that there was no other reference to him. "But," I said, "you must have the log book of the Arch-

* The wife of the Christopher I was seeking was Frances Lottisham.

Xxiv N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

angel, Waymoiitli's ship." "That log book," he said, "I am sorry to inform you is lost. Sometimes such offices as this are given the younger sons of the nobility, who are totally unfit for such places. One of my predecessors was such a man, and, having charge of this department, thought it best to have a house-cleaning, so he turned over to a junk dealer all the valuable manuscripts in his department. They were loaded upon drays, and, as they went through the Strand, many documents were blown off, and are among some of the most valuable manuscripts now in the British Museum."

On another occasion I was seeking material relating to Portland's founder, George Cleeve, and knew that he was charged by his enemies with having forged the names of several of our early set- tlers to a document which he presented to Parliament. A study of the question made me believe that he had appended these names to this document as witnesses to be cited for evidence. Of course I went over the Parliamentary calendars, and found the record of the presentation of this document by Cleeve, and felt that I almost had the original in my possession. I would have it photographed, of course. Imagine my disappointment when the custodian of the documents of that period informed me that they had all been de- stroyed a few years before by a fire in the department where they were kept. I would not believe it until I went to Mr. Sainsbury, who ascertained that the statement was true.

In my researches at Burlington House, the imposing home of the Society of Antiquaries, in looking over their publications I found an account of a letter of Queen Elizabeth to George Waymouth, which was found behind a wainscot in tearing down an old building, and, of course, wanted a facsimile or photograph of it, so I requested the custodian to get it for me. In a short time he came back much excited to inform me that it had disappeared. Some of the mem- bers of the Society came in, and it was amusing to see what a com- motion the loss occasioned. Search was made everywhere for it, and it was advertised for, but, so far as I know, it has never been found.

I will not relate my experiences in other directions, but only say that among other places which I rumaged were Lambeth Palace, the two Societies for the Propagation of the Gospel, the Bodleian Library, and the archives of Merchant Adventurers at Bristol who sent out Cabot on the famous voyage which resulted in the discovery of the North American continent in 1497. The company still keeps up its organization.

I also instituted a search, through another, in the Vatican, and made a personal examination of Spanish archives, about which I could give reminiscences interesting to cranky hunters of literature material, but not to others. The want of indexes in the Spanish archives which I visited discouraged the careful search which I hoped to make. I am glad to say that good work is being done in

ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT XXV

these archives by Mr. Biggar, for the English government. Of course rare maps are always eagerly sought by collectors of historical material, and interesting finds are often made. I will call attention to one only of my maps, of especial interest to Maine people, a map of Maine which I believe to have once been the property of Governor Edward Godfrey, a well-known figure in our early history, who re- returned to England about 1655 to die in prison. As it had not been reproduced, I obtained a facsimile of it, which I highly prize. And here let me speak of the facsimiiists. Their skill in repro- ducing missing title-pages and words, as well as illustrations of rare books, is marvellous. I was told by Mr. Burt, whom I employed, that he procured every scrap of old paper he could find, and could make facsimiles of letters on paper of almost any period in the seventeenth century.

In speaking of books I have omitted to allude to grangerizing. The extra illustration of books is a pursuit much indulged in, and possesses a dangerous fascination for those whose purses are not plethoric. It is a good fad, however, for some men, and I think that if Morse, that Napoleon of speculators, had possessed it, he would to-day have been a happier man. The grangerizer first makes a judiciously prepared list of names of persons, places, and events in the book which he proposes to illustrate, and then begins his hunt for portraits of the persons, as well as engravings of the places, and illustrations of the events recorded in his list. Many of the en- gravings he secures are too large or too small for his purposes, and these he has inlaid to meet the size required. The most skilful in- layer known in this country, and it is claimed in Europe, was Lucius M. Poole of Boston, who could split a sheet of paper three times, threby producing four perfect sheets. His skill was mar- vellous. He told me of the works of Johnson which he was illus- trating for a wealthy patron, which he said would cost at least $20,000, many of the plates being costly proofs, much too large for the work and having to be greatly reduced in size, a waste which he said caused him considerable distaste for his occupation.

There are houses in this country, and many in Europe, which carry large and valuable stocks of illustrations for grangerizing. In these one can find portraits of historic personages of different periods, some of which are extremely rare ; but in most cases it takes long and patient search to properly illustrate a book. If time permitted, I would be glad to extend my reminiscences on this subject.

The collection of book plates is another fad which many people are interested in, and about which many books have been written ; in fact, there are several periodicals wholly devoted to the subject. The British Museum has a large collection of such books.

As a rule, collectors are shy about disclosing their particular fads, as they are aware that the world at large does not comprehend their

XXvi N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

importance. I will relate one such experience. I had made a warm friend of a gentleman whom I had fished with at the Rangeley Lakes for several seasons. On a certain occasion he invited me to come to Providence, dine with him, and spend the night. After dinner, at which we talked of fishing and various subjects, he invited me into his library, and showed me several rare books, and then asked if I had ever heard of ISIliller's Sistine Madonna. " Yes," I replied, " I have seen the one Williams and Everett imported which I sup- pose to be the only one of the seven in existence ; they priced it to me about a year ago for $2000." " Why ! " he exclaimed, " are you interested in such things?," and his whole manner changed, for when collectors meet they generally gabble like boys. "I bought it," he continued, "the copy you allude to," and he showed it to me as well as the first proof showing the outlines, and the second the coarser lines, which he had secured after great pains. In the three engrav- ings he had probably locked up $4000. He also owned proofs of all the great engravers of the Madonna, and he told me that he used his collection to illustrate lectures to his mill hands, as he was a manufacturer, and had, he believed, accomplished an excellent work by so doing. To those who may wonder how a man can interest him- self in picking up little items about men who have played an impor- tant part in early history, let me say, that by such means history is made. Of many such men almost nothing is known, and yet, it is important that they should be fitted into history which they helped to make. The first items to find respecting such a man are birth, marriage and death, often impossible after years of search to dis- cover ; Cleeve's record in these respects is still blank. The search for other items follows, and in process of time one, if successful, has a skeleton biography of his subject by which he can rehabilitate him, and fit him into the historical events of his time ; but I am exceed- ing reasonable limits and will close by a quotation from a work on American Book-Plates :

" A jolly goode booke, On which to looke Is better to me than golde."

[Author's Note. — It seems proper to remark that this was not originally written for publication, but to entertain a literary club of friends.]

PROCEEDINGS

The sixty-eighth annual meeting of the Society was held on Wednesday, January 31, 1912, at Pilgrim Hall, 14 Beacon Street, at 2.30 p.m., a quorum being present. President Baxter pre- sided.

The records of the meeting of January 3 were approved.

The reports of the officers and the committees had been distributed to the members, and it was

Voted, That the reports of the Corresponding Secretary, the Treasurer, the Librarian, the Historian, the Council, including its Committees, and the Trustees of the Kidder Fund, being presented in print, and now in the hands of the meeting, be accepted and ordered on file with the originals.

Relative to the indenture which was laid before the meeting be- tween the Boston University and this Society concerning restrictions and rights of drainage, etc., in the Ashburton Place estates, it was

Voted, That the President, James Phinney Baxter, and the Treasurer, Charles Knowles Bolton, be authorized to execute, acknowledge, and deliver in the name and on behalf of the New England Historic Genea- logical Society the instrument which has just been read whereby the said Society and Boston University release to each other the restrictions and the right to drainage respectively set forth in a certain deed given by the Mount Vernon Congregational Society to Charles Bradbury by deed dated July 29, 1844, in Book 527, page 249, Suffolk Deeds, and whereby the said Society agrees to use yellow brick facing in its new construction on the premises No, 9 Ashburton Place adjoining the said University.

It was then

Voted, To proceed to the election of officers and councillors, agreeable to chapter iv of the By-laws, and that three tellers be appointed by the chair who shall receive and count the ballots and report to this meeting.

President Baxter appointed as temporary chairman Charles Sidney Ensign, LL.B. Messrs. Marshall Putnam Thompson, LL.B., Stanley Webster Smith, and Charles Newcomb Bax- ter, A.B., being appointed tellers, received the ballots cast.

During the counting of the ballots, Eev. Thomas Franklin Waters, A.M., of Ipswich read a paper. Some Chui'ch Troubles of the Early Times, in which he related incident after incident

Recording Secretary.

REPORT OF THE COUNCIL

Prepared by John Albree

The Society in its By-laws prescribes that the Council " shall make a report which shall include a statement of its doings during the past year, and recommendations as to the future," and further- more that the Council " shall fix all salaries, authorize all expendi- tures . . . and see that the By-Laws are complied with." The Council submits herewith its own report and the reports of the Committees.

As inquiries are frequently made by those interested in the wel- fare of the Society, it may be well at this time to enter somewhat into details.

Membe7^s

The membership December 31, 1911, is as follows :

Resident Members

Admitted prior to January 1, 1903,

and paying $3.00 annually . . . 186

Admitted under present By-law, paying $5.00

annually, and receiving the Register . 590 776

Life Members

Admitted prior to January 1, 1903, on

one payment of $30.00 . . . .128

Admitted under present By-law, paying

$50.00 and receiving the Register . 162 290

Corresponding Members ...... 61

Honorary Members 6

1133

It is a matter of congratulation that the members give such loyal support to the Society. The measure of this support is shown in the extremely small number of those whose membership ceased in 1911 because the annual assessment was not received within one year after it became due, there having been but four. There was some additional loss through those whose mail the post-office could not deliver. The fact first stated is most satisfactory to the Coun- cil, and it must be also pleasing to the Society, as it is an excep- tional record for a large society having annual assessments.

As participation in the support of this Society is thus clearly shown to be appreciated, the Council recommends this fact to the members as a reason for inviting friends to become members also.

EEPORT OF THE COUNCIL XXXI

F{7iances

The financial condition of the Society and a summary of the transactions of the year are given in the Treasurer's report, con- cerning which some comment may be made. The cost of the large work the Society conducts is given in the report, including the maintenance of a free genealogical library with trained assistants, the publication of a large amount of genealogical material in the Register and elsewhere, the conducting of monthly meetings with constantly increasing attendance, and the results attained in other avenues of opportunity, all of which call for the intelligent expen- diture of money, nearly $11,000 being required.

The sources of this required income and the manner of its expen- ditures may be summarized if we condense the report somewhat by combining items and using round numbers as an aid to memory.

Receipts

		Per cei
Income from Invested Funds .	$7,000	64
Admissions and membership assessments	. 3,600	33
Miscellaneous sources ....	300	3
	$10,900	100
Payments
Maintenance and all expenses	$8,800	81
Books for the Library	. 1,500	14
Cost of Register (excess)	500	5

$10,800 100

The results of the generous forethought of those now passed away who provided the permanent funds for the Society is clearly indi- cated in this summary. Two-thirds of the money required for the annual running expenses of the Society comes from the funds in Schedule B, in which are given the names of those whose memory is pleasant. Does not the motto on the Society's seal. In memo- riani majorum, take a new meaning at the showing in this sum- mary?

The special funds of the Society as given in Schedule B amount to $190,000, of which $131,000, as per Schedule A, are invested in securities as there shown, and the balance is represented by the cost of the real estate now being used for the new building. The income from this investment in real estate, now serving the purpose of its acquirement, will now cease and other sources must be found, if the work of the Society is not to be hampered. The danger of loss of the Library by fire, which must be definitely terminated, is in itself a sufficient warrant for a temporary decrease in income, for it is believed that the friends of the Society and of its work will come to its relief.

The Council is confident that the Society will approve this course.

XXxii N. E. HISTOEIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

New Building

The especial duty that has devolved upon the Council during the year has been that set forth in the vote of the Society, December 7, 1910, when the Council was "authorized and instructed to erect a suitable building for the present and probable future needs of the Society on the land now owned by the Society on Beacon Hill, with an entrance from Ashburton Place ; and also to make all plans necessary for financing the same."

With the exception of the estate acquired in 1909, through which access is obtained to Ashburton Place, all the land was bought in 1903, and the account of the transaction is given in the report of the Council for that year, prepared by Edmund Dana Barbour (Proceedings, 1904, p. xix). Recent developments have shown the sagacity of these purchases, for the Society now has 8,553 square feet of land, a lot large enough for the new building and for the needed light areas adjacent.

The details incident to the accomplishment of the purpose of the Society's vote have been entrusted by the Council to a committee of nine, and the acts of this committee have been approved by the Council from time to time as the work has progressed. Printed appeals for subscriptions brought such a response that there could be no reason for any delay in the important undertaking.

In addition to the purpose on the part of the Council to carry out the wishes of the Society as expressed in the vote, there was another force at work, the sense of personal responsibility on the part of the members of the Council for the safeguarding of the So- ciety's treasures. Plans were prepared after careful investigation, architects selected, contracts awarded, and the work of building has been begun. It is true that but $40,000 have been subscribed, while at least $115,000 are needed; but it is more judicious to enter upon the construction of the new building at once and rely upon the friends of the Society for the balance required, than it is to run the risk of the destruction of the books while waiting for the whole amount to be subscribed. The risk of loss is too great to excuse delay, and even though the users of the Library may be put to inconvenience during the transition period and until the new building is fitted, the assurance that the books will be safe will be ample compensation.

The best judgment and the practical experience of the Librarian and the staff, as well as of those who have built libraries elsewhere, have been embodied in the plans for the new building, and with the result the Society will feel content.

Publications

The amount of printed matter that the Society publishes in one year is large, and it is standard material printed on paper that will

REPORT OF THE COUNCIL XXxiii

endure. During the year 1911 over three thousand pages were printed.

For nearly thirty years one matter of importance has been before the Council. It was an appreciation of the need of an index by which the vast store of material in the Register might be made readily accessible to searchers who otherwise would have to consult the old-style incomplete index in each volume. During the year this undertaking, begun in 1896, has been completed for the first fifty volumes of the Register. The amount of careful work and persistent effort which are represented in the four volumes of the Consolidated Index is enormous, and it is a credit to the Society that the work has been satisfactorily accomplished.

English Research

This work, conducted at the expense of subscribers, as is shown in the Committee's report, is resulting in an accumulation of valua- ble unpublished material on the difficult and baffling genealogical problem : How to establish the English origins of the emigrants.

Three of the members of the Committee visited England during the summer and worked with Miss French, who is searching for facts for the Committee, her contributions appearing regularly in the Register.

The members of the Council congratulate the Society on the completion of a successful year, and at the same time ask the fullest co-operation in the great undertaking that has been committed to them, the financing and the erecting of the new building. There can be no more forceful or true expression of the spirit which must animate the members of the Society on this work than that of Marshall P. Wilder in 1870, when he said, referring to preserving in proper surroundings the 8,300 volumes in the Library at that time :

" To preserve these, to provide room for further acquisitions, and for the accommodation of our large and constantly increasing number of mem- bers, is the imperative duty of the society. Our attention has so often been called to this subject that it may seem superfluous to allude to it again. But the time has come when in my judgment no further delay can be sanctioned. The time has arrived when absolute necessity, public sen- timent and personal obligations, demand that this work be done, and that it be done quickly." (Register, vol. 24, p. 165.)

XXxiv N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

The Report of the Committee on Finance, prepared for the Com- mittee. The Committee on Finance begs to report as follows for the year

1911:

Notice has been received of the bequest of $500 to the Society by Mehitable C. C. Wilson, late of Cambridge.

The following change of investment has been made during the year, the placing of $1,000 of the George Sumner Mann Fund in the Provident Institution for Savings where the interest is added semi-annually to the principal as the requirements of the will demand.

Donations and pledges to the amount of $40,005 have been re- ceived towards the proposed new building.

All bills paid during the year have as usual been personally ex- amined and approA'ed by a member of this Committee.

The Eeport of the Committee on the Library, by Helen Frances Kimball, Chairman :

Continuing the policy of the last few years of completing those collections of books relating to localities most in demand by mem- bers of the Society and visitors, special attention has been given this year to the purchase of works on New York counties and towns, the most important item of which is a complete set of the " Index of the Public Records of Albany County from 1630 to 1894," con- sisting of 27 folio volumes.

Mention has been made in previous reports of the purpose of the Library Committee to undertake the making of a comprehensive card index of genealogical data relating to American families and their antecedents, similar in character to Munsell's Index but much more comprehensive in scope.

The Committee is pleased to report that this purpose has now de- veloped into a consistant working plan and that the new index is well under way. Miss Josephine E. Rayne, of the Consolidated Index staff, has the matter in her immediate charge, but it is ex- pected that other members of the Library staff will assist in the work so far as their regular duties will permit.

Fifty thousand index cards have been made especially for this work at one of the best mills in the country. They have been ruled and printed so that when filled out the genealogical searcher can see at a glance whether the information contained in the book is what is needed, without consulting the book itself.

The scope of this index will hardly be appreciated by those not familiar with its details, until it takes definite shape as a working plan in the proposed new Society building. It will be unique and of immense assistance to all workers in the genealoo-ical field. The conception of this comprehensive guide is wholly due to our Libra-

rian, and its proper title, when printed, should be " Greenlaw's Genealogical Index."

The Report of the Committee on Publications, by Henry Edwards Scott, A.B., Secretary:

The Committee on Publications reports that during the year 1911, in addition to the Register and the Proceedings at the Annual Meeting, which together make a volume of 518 pages, the Society published the Vital Records of Carver, Stow, Worthington, Hop- kinton, Duxbury, Kingston, Brockton, and West Bridgewater, 8 volumes containing 2,505 pages — in all 3,023 pages for the year. Other volumes of Vital Records are in preparation.

In accordance with the recommendation of the Committee, the Council voted to increase the subscription price of the Register from seventy-five cents per copy and three dollars per year to one dollar per copy and four dollars per year, and this increase in price takes effect with the first number of volume Q6 (January 1912). This change has been made necessary by the increased cost of the material and labor employed in the production of the magazine.

Beginning with the number of the Register for July, 1911, a change was made in the method of noticing books presented to the Society. Instead of the brief review formerly printed, only the full title of a work, with such descriptive remarks as are sometimes necessary to explain the scope of the contents, is now given, and it is believed that in this form the book notices are of greater use for reference.

The Committee wishes to express its appreciation of the valuable and faithful services of Mr. Henry Winchester Cunningham (for two years past the efficient Chairman of the Committee) and of Mr. Charles Knowles Bolton, whose recent resignations from the Com- mittee are deeply regretted by their former colleagues.

The Report of the Committee on Papers and Essays, by Ethel Stanwood Bolton, A.B., Chairman: The Committee on Papers and Essays submits herewith its annual report, including a list of papers and speakers for the stated meet- ings of the Society during the year 1911.

January/ Jf. — " The History and Development of Conveyancing," by Hon. William T. A. P'itzgerald, LL.B., of Boston, Mass.

January 25. — "An Old Diary of a Young Man," by John Albree, of Swampscott, Mass.

February 1. — " Beautiful New Brunswick and Historic Quebec," by Minna Eliot Tenney, of Boston, Mass.

March 1. — " Over Southern Battlefields To-day," by Robert Lincoln O'Brien, A.B., of Brookline, Mass.

XXXvi N. E. HISTOEIO GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

April 5. " The Mohawk Trail in Massachusetts," by Hon. John Adams

Aiken, LL.B., of Boston, Mass.

j/oy s. " Three Months in the Philippines," by Desmond FitzGerald,

of Brookline, Mass.

October Jf.. — " The Old Days in Gloucester," by Miss Helen Burnham Merchant, B.A., of Gloucester, Mass.

November 1. — " Colonial and Revolutionary Music in New England," by Miss Alice Warren Pope, of Newton Highlands, Mass.

December 6. — " The Story of an Old Church in New Hampshire," by Rev. James De Normandie, A.M., S.T.D., of Roxbury, Mass.

The stated meetings have been held this year, as they vrere last, in Pilgrim Hall. Even in this larger hall the seating capacity was taxed at our November meeting, a stormy day. The average at- tendance for 1910 was 114, and the average for this year shows a gain of 46 per cent., having increased to 167.

The papers "Beautiful New Brunswick and Historic Quebec," " Over Southern Battlefields To-day," and " Three Months in the Philippines," were illustrated with stereopticon views. The paper on " Colonial and Revolutionary Music in New England " was made more interesting by a quartet, in costume, accompanied by a piano and 'cello.

Last year an innovation was made at the annual meeting. A paper was read by a member, and proved a most successful addition.

The refreshments served at the meetings have induced our mem- bers and friends to linger after the meetings, and have greatly en- hanced the social aspect of the occasion.

Another innovation this year has been the issuance of guest tick- ets. These have sometimes accompanied the notices of the meet- ings, and sometimes remained in the hands of the Librarian for distribution among those who ask for them. They have proved of greater usefulness in advertising the meetings and the Society than our former advertisements in the papers. In pursuance of the same plan, the Committee, at the beginning of the autumn, printed a small programme containing a list of the essays for the ensuing season. These have been very generally distributed and have been frequently in requisition since.

The expenses of the Committee have been somewhat large, but have come within the appropriation allowed to it. The time will soon come, however, when it will not always be possible to furnish a programme that will equal the last in interest, without paying something to our speakers. Your Committee believes that the in- creased attendance at the meetings, and the addition to our mem- bership for which the meetings are responsible, is a sufficient justifi- cation for a judicious expenditure in this way.

The Eeport of the Committee to assist the Historian, by- Andrew Fiske, Ph.D., Chairman :

As Chairman of the Committee to assist the Historian, I beg to report that on February 23, 1911, I wrote the Historian, Mr. Wil- liam E,. Cutter, offering him the services of the Committee. He replied that he saw no immediate need of calling the Committee, but later might be glad to call for assistance.

Acting on this suggestion, I have not called the Committee to- gether, and have been waiting for word from the Historian, but up to this time have received no request for assistance.

I, therefore, beg to report that your Committee has held no meet- ings and done no work.

The Report of the Committee on English Research, by Charles Sherburne Penhallow, A.B., Chairman:

The Committee on English Research has the pleasure of reporting its income and expenses for the past year, ending December 30, 1911.

It has received, as the report shows, the sum of $296.00 as fur- ther additions to its Fund, which, with the amount on hand ($529.17) at the beginning of the year, has been sufficient to meet the expenses ($729.65) and leave a balance of $95.52.

Miss French has been doing excellent work, as her contributions to the Register have shown ; and her work is getting more and more valuable all the time as she becomes more familiar with it, and with our requirements. The Committee hopes that the Society, through its members, will give such assistance as will permit it to continue its work.

Keport of the Committee on Heraldry, by Robert Dickson Weston, A.B., Chairman: The Committee on Heraldry begs leave to report that during the past year no questions have arisen of sufficient importance to require a meeting of the committee. The members of the committee indi- vidually have given advice and assistance to a number of persons who have either called upon them personally or written letters to the Society in respect to heraldic matters.

The Report of the Committee on Epitaphs, by Charles Sidney

Ensign, LL.B., Chairman : • The Society has received during the year 1911 as gifts the fol- lowing records, namely : Records of Walnut Hill Cemetery, Brook- line, from Mrs. William S. Hey wood ; Inscriptions from Grave- stones in Cemetery, Worth Pond, formerly a part of New Salem, Orange, Mass. , from WilHam C. Taylor ; Gilmanton and Alton, N. H.

KEPOETS OF COMMITTEES XXXIX

Duxburj, Evergreen Cemetery in Kingston, and Stow, all in Massachusetts.

Your Committee desires that the non-resident members of our Society should interest themselves in the collection of graveyard memorials for deposit in the Society's archives. It will co-operate with individuals and patriotic societies for its accomplishment, al- though it has no funds ; for its wish is that in the near future there may be a record of every cemetery in New England in its safe.

It is gratifying to report the rapidly increasing feeling by towns and individuals of an obligation for the restoration and proper preservation of old cemeteries, and the severe punishment of van- dalism that desecrates them.

The Report of the Committee on Collection of Records, by Edward Chauncey Booth, M.D., Chairman:

The Committee on Collection of Records begs leave to report that during the year 1911 there have been added to the Society's library sixty-eight manuscripts. Thirty-eight of these manuscripts are genealogies and eleven are church and vital records.

The members and friends of the Society have shown much interest during the past year in securing manuscripts for our collection, and some have copied family and vital records when the original manu- scripts could not be obtained for our library.

A limited use has been made during the year of the blanks for recording genealogical data in a dictionary of heads of families which this Committee had designed and printed and which were de- scribed in our report last year. These forms may be secured at the Library, and we urge members and others interested in genealogical research to use the blanks for filing with the Society any unprinted genealogical data that they may have in their possession.

Report of the Comimittee on the Consolidated Index, by F. Apthorp Foster, Chairman :

The Committee on the Consolidated Index reports that, with the completion of the Index of Places, consisting of one part, 123 pages, the work on the Index to volumes 1-50 of the Register has been finished. In the preparation of the Index of Places references were eliminated which had no value to the inquirer or which offered no information.

A binding jacket for volume 4 of the Consolidated Index has been made so that the Index of Subjects (3 parts) and the Index of Places (one part) can be bound together. The price of the case is fifty cents ; for case and binding, one dollar.

The Eeport of the Committee on the Sale of Publications, prepared for the Committee.

The Committee on the Sale of Publications begs to submit the following report for the year 1911 :

Besides the regular publications of the Society, the following have been added to the stock of books for sale : Two hundred and ninety-two copies of the " History and Genealogy of Deacon Joseph Eastman of Hadley, Mass.," by M. Emily Eastman, 1908, 262 p. 8°, given by M. Emily Eastman; price $3.00.

During the year two complete sets of the New England His- torical AND Genealogical Register, with Consolidated Index, have been sold at a fair profit.

The receipts from sales of miscellaneous Registers have been $922.07, a slight gain over last year. The sales of miscellaneous books have netted $159.35.

The Report of the Committee on Increase of Membership, by John Albert Holmes, C.E., Chairman :

The Committee on Increase of Membership begs to report as follows :

During the year the Committee held three meetings, at which plans for increasing the membership of the Society were discussed and outlined. One hundred new members have been added during the year. The Committee regrets that it was responsible for recom- mending only twenty-two candidates for election. It ought to have found five hundred desirable persons who are deeply interested in genealogy to recommend for the Society.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN

Presented by William Prescott Greenlaw

Again the Librarian is required by the flight of time and the organic law of the Society to present an annual statement of the condition and the wants of the Library and the Cabinet and report the names of all donors.

The Library has not changed materially during the year just past other than by the normal growth through accessions and by the wear consequent upon frequent consultation of books in certain classes. The collection is fairly complete in the publications which come fully within a very broad interpretation of its scope, and quite com- plete in those publications which fall within a more narrow inter- pretation. The plu-ase " not in the Library," formerly so much used in replying to the inquiries of visitors, has been gradually falling into disuse and is now rarely heard. Many of the genealogical books in the collection are showing the effect of hard usage, but thanks to more ample funds for the purchase of books, worn-out copies are now being replaced. The condition of the Cabinet re- mains practically the same as formerly.

The chief needs of the Library are space for expansion, the re- duction to the minimum of the risk of loss by fire, and permanent fiinds to provide annual income for rebinding, cataloguing, index- ing, and care of the books. The Cabinet needs space and cases for the display of articles of public interest, and funds for the restora- tion and the preservation of the portraits. Space and safety seem assured in the near future in the new building.

The total accessions for the year number 829 volumes, 437 pam- phlets, and 143 miscellaneous articles. Of these, 349 volumes, 78 pamphlets, and 10 miscellaneous articles were purchased; 389 vol- umes, 346 pamphlets, and 133 miscellaneous articles were given; and 91 volumes and 13 pamphlets were received in exchange. These accessions added to the estimated number in the Library as reported last year, give 37,017 volumes and 36,490 pamphlets as the approximate number in the Library, December 31, 1911.

No large collections of genealogies have been dispersed through the auction rooms this year, and dealers in second-hand books have not quoted as many as usual, consequently the number added to the Library was less than the average of recent years. The following table shows the number of genealogies secured during the last ten years :

xlii N. E. HISTOKIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

Notwithstanding this remarkable record, the " want list " is in- creasing rather than diminishing. Many genealogies were privately- printed in limited editions strictly for the use of the families, and copies of these are frequently not obtainable when information about them reaches the libraries. Occasionally the first knowledge ob- tained is from the appearance of the book itself. Recently a forty- page genealogy, totally unknown to bibliographers of the subject, printed in Massachusetts forty-four years ago, was brought in as a donation !

The visitors' register shows eight per cent, increase of use of the Library by non-members over the preceding year. It also indicates, by the greater number of states and foreign countries represented, a more general interest in family history. A study of the statistics of the use of this Library, together with the experience derived from personal contact in assisting visitors for many years, justifies the assertion that interest in genealogy is constantly growing, is gradually spreading, and what is equally important from the view- point of this Society, is becoming more stable in character. There is far less genealogical research now than formerly as a means to a social end, and more investigation for the actual information itself, or to obtain material for publication. The change in this respect in recent years has been quite marked. In addition to those who use the Library personally, many other non-members are served through the medium of professional genealogists, several of whom can usu- ally be found in the Library industriously gathering data for distant clients. In 1911 the Society issued a directory of American and English genealogists, dealers in genealogical books, and printers and publishers who make a specialty of genealogical work, particu- larly for the benefit of those residing at a distance who wish inform- ation of this nature. Before 1911, the practice was to send out typewritten lists in answer to inquiries. The new method not only reduces expense in replying to inquirers, but also yields a substantial amount of revenue, and gives every one in the directory an equal chance. The visitors' register does not indicate the amount of the indirect use of the Library by non-members, because the professional genealogists are nearly all members of the Society, and consequently do not register.

Late in the year work was begun on the guide to genealogical data relating to American families, recommended in the last annual report of the Librarian. Miss Josephine E. Rayne, formerly of the Library staff, and later in charge of the Consolidated Index, is in charge of this new undertaking.

The selection of durable materials for whatever is subject to ex- cessive use leads to ultimate economy. This is especially true of books, where the cost of repair and replacement of a volume in a reference library through a long term of years may be increased many fold by the use of inferior materials. The difference in cost

REPOET OF THE LIBRARIAN xliii

per volume for manufacture, however, is slight. Some books, after repeated rebinding, have been discarded from this Library as worn out at the end of ten years, while others, equally as much in demand, have withstood the use and abuse of half a century, and still seem to be in good condition. In past years the Librarian has given some time to the study of book papers and binding materials in the hope that the expense of rebinding and replacing books might be lessened in the future by the adoption of durable grades of paper and cloth. Because of his investigations, standards of paper for books and of cloth for binding were chosen for this Society's use.

This year he has taken up the matter of catalogue cards and attempted to establish a high grade of stock to meet the peculiar needs of this Library, where written cards will receive excessive use in the new genealogical index. In the problem of cards, as in that of paper, the services of a chemical engineer and fibre expert were drawn upon to assist in securing the qualities desired ; and they will be needed in the future to maintain the standard adopted. As a result of investigations and experiments, a card stock was produced having a maximum of first-class fibres (100% rag), a minimum of mineral ash (0.75 % ) , great bursting strength (126 pounds, Mullen) , high tensile strength (83 pounds machine direction, 57 pounds cross direction), very high folding test (3292, double folds, machine direction), excellent erasure quality (8), and freedom from injurious chemicals. The best cards found in stock and analyzed, while all rag fibre and free from loading, were much inferior in bursting strength, tensile strength (both directions), and erasure quality, and they were very much inferior in folding test (1112).

Certainly this Society, in having its book paper, binding cloth, and catalogue cards made to order at reliable mills on its own speci- fications, is lessening to some extent the burden for the future up- keep of the Library. It is gratifying to note not only that the Society's " Standard " paper is coming into general use for gene- alogies and local histories but also that the Society's policy is being followed by a kindred institution in the matter of having its book paper made to order and water-marked with its name. It is to be hoped that still others will do the same.

During the year the Librarian, as a member of the sub-committee on plane for the proposed new building, has devoted considerable time to the study in detail of some of the problems involved in planning a fireproof structure suited to the present and probable future needs of this Society and adapted to the particular site chosen for the edifice. To settle positively in his own mind a number of the problems pertaining to this undertaking, he has visited new library buildings in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York, and noted how other institutions have dealt with similar questions. Another officer of the Society accompanied him on most of the occasions. The library structures examined have ranged in

xliv N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

cost from the comparatively inexpensive to the relatively extravagant per unit of shelving capacity, and they have furnished ample oppor- tunity to study different methods of construction and various makes of library fixtures. Equipped with about twenty years' intimate knowledge of the Society, its work and its needs, he has tried to embody the conclusions derived from his studies and his long ex- perience in the plans for the proposed building. With this end in view he drew crude, tentative sketches for the lay-out of the entire building, which served as a basis for the architects' preliminary plans. Then, with the preliminary plans in hand, he consulted the heads and clerical force of each department (as well as many members of the Society), asked for suggestions, and obtained the approval of all concerned in the administration of the various departments before the final scheme for the building was adopted. The plans approved follow the general scheme of the first sketches ; and they provide adequate accommodations for the various departments, divided between them in proportion to their relative importance, conveniently located for their specific purposes, and planned to pro- mote efficiency and economy of administration. Every foot of avail- able space has been utilized, and it is believed that the comparative cost per volume of shelving capacity will be found low, notwith- standing that efficient and expensive safeguards against fire have been provided for the entire building.

The year 1911 has been an eventful one for the Library. The completion of the Consolidated Index to the Register, furnishing one more guide for genealogical searchers, the beginning of the index to genealogical data relating to American families, the suc- cessful attempt to secure adequate and safe quarters for the Library in the future, the disposal of the old building to an institution which will be a highly desirable neighbor, are events of sufficient import- ance to make the year one to be remembered in the history of the Society.

OF THE

NEW ENGLAND HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

Prepared by William Richard Cutter, A.M., Historian

The following pages contain obituary notices of members who died during the year 1911, with the addition of thirteen deceased in preceding years. It is noticeable that many members of very long standing in the Society are included in this list. The notices are arranged in the order in which the deaths occurred.

RoBEET HovENDEN, F.S.A., F.R.H.S., of Croydon, Surrey, England, a corresponding member since 1893, has been reported as deceased, date not given. He edited publications of the Harleian Society, and Allibone connects his name with two published works, both being parish registers ; but all attempts have thus far failed to obtain any further account of his life.

1907

Henry Martyn Field, A.M., D.D., a corresponding member from 1860, known as a minister, editor, and author, died January 26, 1907. He was born at Stockb ridge April 3, 1822, the son of Eev. David Dudley Field.

He was graduated at Williams College in 1838, studied theology, became pastor of a Presbyterian church at St. Louis in 1842, and resigned in 1847 to go abroad. He visited Ireland in the year of the famine, spent a winter in Paris, and saw the revolution of 1848. Returning, he settled in West Springfield, Mass., and in 1854 re- moved to New York to become partner and, later, sole owner and editor of TJie Evangelist, with which he was connected for forty- four years. He made the circuit of the globe during 1875 and 1876, described by himself in a work of two volumes, entitled, "From the Lakes of Killarney to the Golden Horn," and "From Egypt to Japan " — a work which has passed through twenty editions. Later he journeyed extensively in the Orient, which he described in his three books, entitled, " On the Desert," " Among the Holy Hills," and "The Greek Islands." He also wrote on Spain, Gibraltar, and the Barbary Coast, as well as on home topics, the lives of his distin- guished brothers, etc. His home address was Stockbridge, Mass.

1908

Augustus Whittemore Corliss, * Colonel, U. S. A., Eetired, a corresponding member since 1875, was born at North Yarmouth, Me., March 25, 1837, the son of Robert Elwell and Asenath (Field) Corliss, and died at Denver, Col., September 4, 1908.

He served successively as second lieutenant, first lieutenant, and major of the 1st Rhode Island Cavalry from December 26, 1861, until mustered out October 2, 1862 ; as major of the 2d Rhode Island Cavalry from December 24, 1862 ; and as lieutenant-colonel of the same regiment from January 19 to July 11, 1863, when he resigned. Entering the regular army, he served as private and first sergeant of Company H, 2d Battalion, 15th Infantry, between March 14 and August 9, 1865 ; as second lieutenant and first lieutenant of the 15th Infantry from July 21, 1865 ; was transferred to the 33d Infantry September 21, 1866, and to the 8th Infantry May 3, 1869 ; became captain May 29, 1873 ; major of the 17th Infantry February 4, 1897 ; was transferred to the 7th Infantry Febiaiary 23, 1897 ; and became lieutenant-colonel of the 2d Infantry Feb- ruary 6, 1899. He was retired in 1901.

During the Civil war he was engaged in the battles of Antietam, in the siege and capture of Port Hudson, and in other actions, while in later years he served in various Indian campaigns. During the period of his service he was engaged at different times as adjutant and regimental quartermaster.

After joining this Society he became active in the promotion of its objects, and his name appears often in the Register. He issued a " Genealogical Record of the Corliss Family of America," in an edition of only sixty-two copies, executed under the unfavorable circumstances of camp and campaign, and printed on a small hand- press at Camp McDowell, Ariz. Georgia was the scene of its be- ginning ; North Carolina, South Carolina, Dakota, Montana, Ne- braska, and Arizona the places of its continuance. His next venture was a magazine devoted to the history of Yarmouth, Me., issued quarterly, under the title of Old Times. This publication was discontinued with its eighth volume. The story of its publi- cation is told in the Register for 1885. As this shows. Colonel Corliss is entitled to great credit for the prosecution of genealogical work under unusual difficulties.

He was four times married: first, January 1, 1861, to Eliza Lurena Twitchell ; secondly to Mary Elizabeth Alvarez ; thirdly to Eliza Crawford Cunningham ; and fourthly, December 3, 1870, to Mi"8. Frances (Thompson) Russell.

" first private citizen " from the usefulness of his writings to the country.

He began business life as a clerk in the large commercial house of SpofFord, Tileston & Company, and rose rapidly to a position of trust. From 1852 to 1861 he was engaged in the importation of Cuban goods. The war having ended this business, he entered upon the effort to influence the public in favor of the election of President Lincoln. He was the organizer of the National War Committee, and a plan he suggested for depot camps received the approval of the War Department.

Mr. Stevens reorganized, in 1861, the 51st New York Regiment, sent it to the front, and maintained it to the end of the war by his own contributions and by subscriptions from among his friends. He was offered the positions of Commissioner of Internal Revenue and Register of the Treasury, as well as that of consul-general at Paris.

Alexander Johnston Stone, M.D., LL.D., a resident mem- ber since 1866, and a life member since 1870, was born at Wis- casset. Me., September 7, 1845, the son of Daniel and Elizabeth (Johnston) Stone, and died at Saint Paul, Minn., July 16, 1910.

Dr. Stone was an early attendant at the famous Abbott School, "Little Blue," Farmington, Me., and was graduated from the Berk- shire Medical College in 1867. In 1870 he became a resident of Saint Paul, where he at once engaged in practice, combined with the teaching of medicine, the support of medical journalism, and the guardianship of the public health, features which to him were of the first importance.

While in Boston, and after his graduation. Dr. Stone was asso- ciated with the celebrated Dr. Horatio Storer, and later went abroad, where he studied for three months. After his return he married, removing to Stillwater, Minn., where he remained a year, and then became partner of Dr. Jacob Stewart of Saint Paul, where he made his home. For the last three years of his life his health had been poor, and his last illness was comparatively brief. His remains are interred at Augusta, Me., where a sister. Miss Louisa Stone, now lives. His widow's home is at Wiscasset, Me.

At the time he entered professional life, the old preceptorship in medicine was proving inadequate, hence he took an active part in oro-anizing the Saint Paul Preparatory Medical School, which later was merged into the Saint Paul Medical College, of which at one time he was the head. He was also the editor of the North- western Lancet.) the pioneer medical journal of Minnesota, and held many offices. He was widely known and popular. From a tribute to him in the Northwestern Lancet for August 1, 1910, it is said that he was the first and best of Minnesota's medical journalists, a physician of large and faithful following, a public oflficer of long and valuable service, and a speaker of rare eloquence, a scholar of broad culture, and a man of unswerving loyalty and tireless energy.

He was married, December 15, 1868, to Helen Sheppard, daughter of Dr. Stephen B. and Hannah Wood (Sheppard) Sewall. Mrs. Stone was a granddaughter of Hon. John Hannibal Sheppard, librarian for many years of this Society, and prominent in its coun- cils and in the promotion of its interests.* Dr. Stone and his wife were the parents of three sons, two of whom died in infancy ; the third, and eldest, John Sheppard Stone,. now lives in Chicago, 111.

John Hitchcock of Falmouth, Mass., a resident member since 1890, died at West Falmouth August 15, 1910. He was the son of Sarah Frances and the late John Hitchcock.

To have known John Hitchcock is like having visited some genial island where the sun always shines, where manners are kindly and

hearty, and where life is far from the haste and heat that so wear the modern world. He not only was spared from the care and toil of business but was kept by character and temperament from the evil and folly into which men of leisure so readily fall. He loved his home, his family, and his friends with a calm and steady affec- tion that made no pretence and knew no change.

A pure, simple, bright and loving life that shone upon the world with gentle warmth and steady brightness, made him beloved by all who knew him and came into relations with him, and when at last the death that had quietly waited for him since a severe illness of several years ago was given permission to take him, he drifted so quickly away that he seems not to have died at all but to be waiting like the sunny island in some other sea, for us to visit him again and to find the same cheerful and kindly manners that from ac- quaintance of the earlier time lie so fair in the memory.

Indebtedness is expressed to Rev. Dr. Lyon of Chapaquoit, Mass., to Dr. Epliraim Cutter, and others, for the facts of this notice.

Hezekiah Eugene Bolles, a resident member from 1907, died at Dorchester October 28, 1910. He was born at Waterford, Conn., January 6, 1853, the son of William and Cornelia Congdon (Palmer) Bolles, and was descended from Joseph, ' Thomas,^ John,' Joshua,^ Hezekiah," and William^ Bolles, his father. He was a graduate of the law school of Boston University, and practiced law in Boston.

He married, September 9, 1882, Elizabeth Clapp, daughter of James Theodore and Martha Neal (Jenkins) Howe, and had no children.

Alexander Clinton Adams of Barnstable, a resident member since 1893, died November, 1910. He was born at Osterville, Mass., April 9, 1847, the son of Urial and Annie (Dottridge) Adams, and was descended from Henry' Adams of Braintree through Edward,^ Edward,^ Thomas,* Edward,* Ansel,'' and Urial,' his father.

Mr. Adams was educated in the country school, and later entered the fire insurance business. He helped to organize the New Eng- land Insurance Exchange, and was one of its early officers ; was the New England agent of one of the largest foreign companies doing fire insurance in America ; and removed to Hartford, Conn., in 1897, to take charge of the ^tna Company of that city. He was un- married.

William Richardson Dupee, a resident member since 1904, born at Brighton in 1841, died January 19, 1911, at his home in Brookline, Mass.

He was educated at Chauncy Hall School, Boston. Long promi- nently identified with the wool trade in Boston up to his retirement from active interest in it in 1905, he began business with the old time commission firm of J. C. Howe & Company before Civil War days, and remained with them until 1868, when he went into busi- ness on his own account as a wool broker. Later he became asso- ciated with John D. Parker in the wool business, and afterward with George B. Nichols ; and the firm of Nichols, Parker & Dupee became widely known, as did that, afterwards, of Nichols, Dupee & Company. Mr. Nichols died several years ago, and when Mr. Dupee retired in 1905, the firm name was the oldest in the wool trade in Boston. The business has since been carried on by Dupee & Meadows, of which firm William Arthur Dupee, the son, is the senior member.

Mr. Dupee was at one time president of the American Rubber Company ; and at the time of his death was a trustee and member, as he had been for many years, of the board of investment of the Boston Five Cent Savings Bank, which institution he had served also as vice-president. He also was a director of the Eliot National Bank, and of the Industrial Trust Company of Providence, R. I. Mr. Dupee belonged to the Somerset, Union, Country, and Eastern Yacht clubs.

He is survived by his son, WiUiam Arthur ; two daughters, Mrs. Endicott P. Saltonstall, formerly Elizabeth B. Dupee, and Mrs. George D. Burrage, who before her marriage was Jeannie Ursula Dupee.

His early education was acquired in the district schools of his native town, at Barre Academy, and at Norwich (military) Univer- sity, where he was a cadet in 1861 and a part of 1862. He entered the Union Army from Barre, July 28, 1862, as a member of Com- pany B, 10th Vermont Volunteer Infantry, and in this organization he served as first sergeant, then as a second, and afterwards as a first, lieutenant, and later as captain, before being mustered out on June 22, 1865. In the Civil War he served for a great part of the time with the Sixth Corps. It was his fate to participate in many

IxX N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

important battles, and to be twice slightly and twice severely wounded.

From Norember 6, 1865, to April 6, 1866, he served as first lieutenant and adjutant of the 97th United States Colored Infantry, and on July 2, 1867, he was commissioned as second lieutenant in the 6th United States (regular) Cavalry, after which period he ren- dered many various and important services, mostly against the In- dians, in Texas, Kansas, and Arizona, of which the precise official record is much too long for insertion here. He was first lieutenant, September 10, 1869 ; regimental quartermaster, November 25, 1869, to May 17, 1873; and captain, June 3, 1880. He was breveted major February 27, 1890, for gallant services rendered in an action against the Indians at Big Dry Wash, Ariz., July 17, 1882.

In 1864 he was awarded the degree of B.S. from Norwich University. After being retired from the service, January 3, 1885, on account of wounds and disability, he engaged himself in engi- neering enterprises and in the preparation of a genealogical work entitled "Descendants of George Abbott of Rowley, Mass., and other Abbott families," which was issued in two volumes.

It is rumored that a greater part of the large estate which he has left will be devoted to the erection of a home for aged persons, to be located on his own landed estate in Ban-e.

Laueaman Howe Eussell of Winthrop, Mass., a resident mem- ber since 1909, died there February 15, 1911. He was born at Marlborough, Mass., November 19, 1820, the son of Otis and Lovina (Rice) Russell. He was descended from William' Russell, through John,° Jonathan,^ Eliezer,'' Oliver,* and Otis,® his father.

He was by trade a carpenter and builder, and continued actively in that occupation for more than fifty years. When an apprentice he took up the study of architecture, drawing, and land surveying. He was prominent in the Sons of Temperance organization, and became a Worthy Patriarch of the state. He was Deacon of the Second Parish Unitarian Church in Marlborough, held the office of Parish Clerk, assessor, collector, and treasurer, and was also the clerk and treasurer of the Ministerial Church Fund, as well as teacher and superintendent of the Sunday School.

Mr. Russell was enlisted, July 16, 1861, in Company I, loth Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, Moses P. Palmer's Company, and served with that regiment until December 3, 1863, when he was discharged for disability.

Sam Walter Foss, A.M., of Somerville, Mass., a resident mem- ber from 1906, was born at Candia, N. H., June 19, 1858, the son of Dyer and Polly (Hardy) Foss, and died at Somerville Feb- ruary 26, 1911.

As president of the Massachusetts Library Club he recited before that body various pieces of his own composition, relating in a humorous manner peculiar to himself the various foibles and trials incident to librarians and their work. His most famous piece is probably the one entitled " My House by the side of the Road." He was also a lecturer, and the reader, public- ly, of his own poems. He took charge of a very important public library without previous experience, and managed it successfully. Mr. Foss was a most genial and popular man, and a useful factor in the community where he made his residence, which, with a large section of the world about it, shares his loss.

He was married, July 13, 1887, to Carrie M., daughter of Rev. Henry Conant of Providence, R. L, and is survived by her, a son, and a daughter.

Henry Hinckley Stafford, a resident member of the Society since 1903, died at Newton, Mass., April 26, 1911. He was born at Boston January 6, 1833, the son of Leander and Mehitable Hinckley (Lotlirop) Stafford of Salem, Conn., and was probably a descendant of Thomas Stafford, one of the early settlers of Newport and War- wick, R. I. Through his mother, who was of Barnstable, Mass., he traced his ancestry to Rev. John Lothrop, and Samuel Hinckley.

His earliest years were passed in New London, and from his sixth to his seventeenth at Provincetown, Mass., where he completed the prescribed courses at the Academy. In 1850 he entered the employ of Joseph Kidder, druggist, of Court Street, Boston, with whom he remained until 1855, when illness, involving serious heart trouble, compelled a severance of the connection. In the face of a specialist's prediction that he had not more than three months more to live, he showed characteristic independence and grit by going West, there to seek health and business. Settling in Detroit he became associated with the St. Mary's Falls Ship Canal Company, in whose interests he went in 1856 to Marquette, Mich., on Lake Superior, then a small settlement on the edge of the wilderness. Completing his duties there in 1858, he returned to Boston, and for a short time was connected with the Berkshire Life Insurance Company, but in 1859 he retraced his steps to Marquette to enter upon a busy career. He established a drug and stationery store, still prosperous after more than half a century ; opened china and crockery stores there and in Milwaukee ; and embarked in the lubricating oil business, which m.et the fate of all other competitors of the great trust. He also became interested in numerous iron mining and timber enterprises. In public life he filled a number of offices, serving as township treas- urer, and chairman of the County School Board, for years ; became the first mayor of Marquette, and representative in the Michigan Legislature. He was appointed Receiver of the United States Land Office at Marquette by President Lincoln, and later held office as Register of the same office. But with prosperity came reverses, the great Marquette Fire of 1868 and the panic of 1873 causing him severe losses, from which, however, he recovered with undiminished courage.

Mr. Stafford lived in Milwaukee from 1886 to 1889, when he returned to Marquette, where he remained until 1895, when failing health obliged him to make his home in California, where he owned a lemon orchard at Santa Barbara. In 1898 he went to Mount Vernon, N. Y., where he lived until 1900, when he settled down in Newton, and there, close to the scenes of his youth and free from business cares, he remained until his death.

As a young man Mr. Stafford was a strong supporter of the Anti- Slavery cause and became a staunch Republican, casting his first presidential ballot for General Fremont in 1856.

In 1853 he was confirmed in Grace Episcopal Church, Boston,

Ixxiv N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

and was one of the organizers of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Marquette in 1856, and one of its first wardens. Later he identi- fied himself with the Presbyterian Church there.

He was the last surviving charter member of Marquette Lodge, No. 101, Free and Accepted Masons, and a charter member of Lake Superior Commandery, Knights Templars, both of these bodies taking part at his burial in Marquette. He was also a member of Wisconsin Commandery No. 1, and of the Mystic Shrine.

Mr. Stafford married at Detroit, June 2, 1856, Catherine Lewis, daughter of Joseph and Nancy Jenkins (Homer) Kidder of Boston. She died at Mount Vernon, N. Y., March 26, 1900.

They had six sons, of whom five survive the parents, as follows : Edward Orr, born at Boston, now of Marquette ; Walter Kidder, of Newton ; Charles Mason, of Minneapolis ; Henry Lothrop, of Duluth, Minn.; Alfred Cochran, died in infancy; and Morgan Hewitt, of Newton — the last five born at Marquette.

Thomas Wentwoeth Higginson, A.M., LL.D., of Cambridge, Mass., a resident member since 1868, was bom at Cambridge De- cember 22, 1823, the son of Stephen and Louisa (Storrow) Hig- ginson, and died at Cambridge May 9, 1911.

He was graduated from Harvard College in the class of 1841, and from the Harvard Divinity School in 1847.

During the Civil War he was a captain in the Slst Regiment Massachusetts Volunteers, and served later as colonel of the Ist South Carolina (Union) Volunteers, afterward the 33d United States Colored Troops. He was the author of more than thirty popular books, among the best-known of them being the follow- ing : "Army Life in a Black Regiment," 1869 ; " Old Port Days," 1873 ; " Young Folks' History of the U. S.," 1875 ; " Short Studies of American Authors," 1879; " Larger History of the U. S.," 1885; "Life of Francis Higginson," 1891 ; "English History for Ameri- cans," 1893; "Cheerful Yesterdays," 1898; "Old Cambridge," 1899 ; lives of Henry W. Longfellow (American Men of Letters Series), John G. Whittier (English Men of Letters Series), and Stephen Higginson. His collected works were reprinted in seven volumes about a dozen years ago, and he was a regular contributor to magazines and delivered many public addresses.

Colonel Higginson was a master of English composition, exem- plified both in writing and in platform performances, and his career was an exemplar in many respects of the attitude towards public questions called in days now long since gone the New England con- science. Such a conscience espoused a cause from a sense of duty, however unpopular such action might be, or however great might be the unfavorable effect on the prosperity or personal interests of the individual. Therefore he was among those who were the most

MEMOIES Ixxv

prominent in the advocacy of the anti-slavery agitation, in the ad- vancement of the so-called woman question, and in the command of a regiment of black troops, when such a command Avas not par- ticularly popular.

His long membership in this Society is deserving of especial notice. Colonel Higginson was a most genial companion, and those of his contemporaries who delighted to listen to his oratory most assuredly regret that his voice is now silenced forever.

He was married at West Newton, Mass, February 6, 1879, to Mary P. Thatcher.

Egbert Breck Williams, a life member since 1899, who was born at Newburyport, Mass., August 6, 1829, and moved to Boston in 1832 with his parents, died May 20, 1911.

Abraham,* Abra- ham,* Joseph,® and Robert Breck,' his father.

Mr. Williams received his education at the primary school, the Adams Grammar School, and the English High School, which he left in 1846 to go into the counting room of Crocker & Sturgis, importers of tea and East India goods. He obtained his mercantile education there, and in October, 1851, was sent by them as super- cargo in the ship Ti^ai to the coast of Chile and to Canton, China. In the winter of 1852 he arrived home, and in May, 1853, went into partnership with Horace Dudley Hall of Medford, as importers of tea and East India goods. Mr. Hall retired from the firm in July, 1873, and Mr. Williams continued to carry on the business under the old firm name of Williams & Hall, with his son Stillman Pierce Williams.

On February 27, 1867, Mr. Williams was married to Mary Ellen, daughter of Samuel Stillman Pierce and his wife Ellen Maria The- resa Wallis.

Charles Augustus Chase, A.M., of Worcester, Mass., a resi- dent member since 1890, died at Worcester June 5, 1911, aged seventy-seven. He was born at Worcester September 9, 1833, the son of Anthony and Lydia (Earle) Chase. The paternal an- cestry of Mr. Chase is traced to the company who came from Eng- land with Governor Winthrop, but the generation to which his grandfather belonged, having intermarried with Quakers, became members of that sect. His father, who was prominent in Worces- ter, was agent for the Worcester and Providence Boating Company, collector of tolls on the Blackstone Canal, associated with John Mil- ton Earle, his brother-in-law, in the ownership of the Worcester Spy, County Treasurer, Elder in the Society of Friends, etc.

rian, antiquary, and office-holder, and had seen it grow from a town of less than six thousand to a city of twenty-five times that si^e.

He was a member of the American Antiquarian Society, The Colonial Society of Massachusetts, the Worcester So- ciety of Antiquity, and others.

An intimate friend writes : " Whether moving in the city's busi- ness, social or literary circles, he was always one thing, the upright, the able and considerate gentleman. He died as a man may well wish to die, honored by those who knew him, loved by troops of friends, and widely respected in the place of his birth and long life."

He was descended from Francis Mallalieu, a Huguenot who fled from France to England, and his father emigrated from the latter country and settled in Worcester, and afterwards lived in Sutton and Millbury.*

At the age of eleven he experienced religion, and soon after, during a visit to New Haven, Conn., encountered influences which inspired him with an idea to obtain a higher education — a purpose which never flagged until, in 1857, he was graduated from Wesleyan University. He had felt an inclination towards the ministry, and 80 after his graduation was admitted, in 1858, into the New Eng- land Methodist Conference and stationed at Grafton, a new and un- cultivated field. After two years there he was appointed to Mt. Bellingham Church, Chelsea. In 1862 he was sent to the church on Lynn Common, Mass., then considered the best appointment in the Conference. In 1864 he was assigned to the Monument Square Church, Charlestown, and after a year was assigned to his first pas- torate at Bromfield Street Church, Boston. In 1868 he was again in Chelsea, but at the Walnut Street Church. He was at this time elected president of the Central Tennessee College at Nashville, but •declined the position. In 1871 he was stationed at Trinity Church, Worcester, and from 1872 to 1874, at St. John's, South Boston, and in 1875 at Trinity Church, Springfield. In 1876 he was ap- pointed for the second time to the church in Bromfield Street. Then, for a seeond time, he returned to Walnut Street Church, Chelsea. In 1882 he was appointed to the presiding eldership, and in 1884 he was elected and consecrated a bishop. His first episcopal resi- dence was at New Orleans, 1884-1892. In 1892 his position was changed to Buffalo, and in 1896 he became the resident bishop of New England.

Bishop Mallalieu was a vital, vibrant force in the life of men. The great, themes of vital importance to the welfare of the com- munity received added meaning from his cogent treatment. He had the statesman's vision, the business man's enterprise, and the pro- phet's sense of righteousness. He shone brightest as a friend, brother, neighbor, and companion. The years added no tinge of bitterness to a loveable nature, but mellowed and sweetened by the €xperieno6s of his long life, he stood as one who would not quit the firing line, tender and undaunted, a true lover of humanity and the trusting child of God.

He was married, October 13, 1858, to Eliza Frances, daughter of Capt. George Atkins of Sandwich, Mass. His wife, and an only

Samuel Newton Cutler, A.B., of Somerville, Mass., a life member since 1906, died at Somerville, September 22, 1911. He was the son of Samuel and Sarah Jane (Bennett) Cutler, and was born at Boston January 25, 1855. Mr. Cutler was descended from John' Cutler from Sprauston, Co. Norfolk, England, and afterwards an inhabitant of Hingham, through Samuel, ** Ebenezer,^ Ebenezer,* Jonathan,* Jonathan,* Samuel,' and Samuel,* his father, who was one of the most prominent business men of Boston, president of the Bay State Belting Company, etc., settled in Somerville in 1856, and died July 12, 1905.

Samuel Crocker Lawrence, A.M,, of Medford, Mass., a life member since 1891, distinguished as a merchant and a soldier, died at Medford September 24, 1911, in his seventy-ninth year. He was born at Medford November 22, 1832, the son of Daniel and Elizabeth (Crocker) Lawrence.

He was a student of Lawrence Academy, Groton, Mass., and was graduated at Harvard College in 1855, receiving the degree of A.M. in 1858.

From 1856 to 1857 he was engaged in the banking business at Chicago, and was in business with his father and brother, under the designation of Daniel Lawrence & Sons, Medford, from 1858 to 1867, and sole proprietor of the firm from 1867 to 1906; wag president of the Eastern Railroad Company in 1875, which was

leased to the Boston and Maine December 2, 1884 ; a director since 1884, and a member of the executive committee since 1893, of the Boston & Maine Raih^oad ; director and member of the executive committee of the Maine Central Railroad Company since 1875 ; a member of the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia from 1855 to 1864; colonel of the Fifth Massachusetts Infantry in 1860-1861, and was wounded in battle while commandino; that regiment at the first Battle of Bull Run ; became brigadier-general in the Massachusetts Militia, serving as such from 1862 to 1864 ; and was the commander of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts in 1869. General Lawrence was the first mayor of the city of Med- ford from 1892-1894. He was also eminent in the order of free masonry ; Grand Master of Masons of Massachusetts, Grand Com- mander of Knights Templar, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, active member and officer of the Supreme Council, thirty- third degree, etc.

Such are the bare facts of his life. Few persons ever did more in a financial way for their native city than General Lawrence. He was a lieutenant, in 1854, in the Lawrence Light Guard of Med- ford, an organization then started and named in honor of his father. To this company he erected and gave in his lifetime, under certain conditions, a magnificent stone armory, at an unknown cost, a struc- ture embracing everything desirable for such an organization and unsurpassed by any in New England. He was commissioned colonel three days after the attack on Fort Sumter, and his regiment (a tlnree months' organization) was soon on its way to the front. For more than thirty years he was a trustee of the Medford Public Library. He was unanimously nominated for Congress, but declined to be a candidate. The extensive grounds about his residence were open to all comers. Five hundred acres of them, bordering on the public Fells district, he prepared in the most generous manner as a park, including in his expenditure an observatory on the highest elevation, from which a magnificent view is had of a great extent of country. He was for years a collector of books, and owned what was probably the best masonic library in the world. He was indefatigable in his eflforts to save the trees from gypsy moths, and spent yearly vast sums to rid the community of that pest. It was a source of regret to his friends that he persistently declined high oflScial position both in state and nation.

He was married on April 28, 1859, to Carrie Rebecca, daughter of Rev. William and Rebecca (Taylor) Badger of Wilton, Me., who with their two children, a son and a daughter, survive him.

Cornelius Newton Bliss of New York, a resident member since 1865 and a life member since 1870, died in that city October 9, 1911, aged 78. He was born at Fall River, Mass., January 26, 1833, the son of Asahel Newton and Irene B. (Luther) Bliss.

He was educated in Fall River public schools, at the academy there, and at the New Orleans, La., high school. Subsequently he was engaged in his stepfather's counting-room in New Orleans for one year ; then as a clerk in a commission house in Boston ; and, in 1866, was with J. S. and E. Wright & Company, Boston, later moving to New York to take charge there, the firm subsequently becoming Bliss, Fabyan & Company, drygoods commission mer- chants.

Mr. Bliss was for years one of the prominent figures in national Republican politics, and was prominently and favorably known as a merchant. He was also one of the coterie who were in the forefront of the affairs of the Republican party for more than a generation. He was treasurer of the Republican National Committee, 1892,

1896, 1900 ; had been chairman of the New York State Republican Committee, 1887, 1888 ; and with other distinguished men had represented New York State for years at Republican National Conventions.

He twice refused. to become a candidate for the governorship of New York, and twice refused the nomination for mayor of New York City. He accepted the position of Secretary of the Interior in President McKinley's cabinet, 1897-1898, but resigned this post after a service of two years, because of the stress of private business.

He was president of the Union League Club, 1902, 1903 ; vice- president of the Chamber of Commei'ce, and president for some years of the American Protective Tariff League, besides holdino- many other important offices in other organizations. He amassed a great fortune, and was always active in movements for municipal reform.

George Henry Leatherbee, A.B., of Brookline, Mass., a resident member since October, 1911, died December 2, 1911. He was born at Boston May 1, 1859, the son of William Hault Leatherbee, born there October 12, 1826, and his wife Mary Jane Millard, born at Boston March 26, 1826. His mother was the daughter of Charles J. and Mary Hannah (Cloutman) Millard.

Mr. Leatherbee was educated in the public schools, Adams Academy, and graduated from Harvard in 1882.

He was married, October 24, 1894, to Ella Duncan, daughter of Washington and Margaret West Smith. They had no children.

Horace Stuart Cummings, A.B., of Exeter, N. H., a resident member since 1883, died at Washington, D. C, December 7, 1911. He was born at Southborough, Mass., July 1, 1840. His father was the Rev. Jacob Cummings, whose wife, Harriet, was the daugh- ter of John Sargent Tewksbury, a well-known citizen of Winthrop, Mass. Rev. Mr. Cummings was a Congregational minister, having charge of the Society at Southborough. Three years later a call from Hillsborough brought the family into New Hampshire. From that tOAvn the minister soon removed to Exeter, where the childhood and youth of the son were passed amidst social and intellectual in- fluences which were never forgotten.

Exeter was ever afterward intimately associated with his life ; he never forgot his early friends, and to him there was no pleasure so keen as those yearly visits he made as long as his health permitted. Natu- rally he became a student in Phillips-Exeter Academy, where he pre- pared for Dartmouth College, entering that institution in the autumn

of 1858. After graduation in 1862, Mr. Cummings returned to Exeter and studied law in the office of Charles H. Bell, subse- quently governor of the State and a senator in Congress. Later he entered the Albany law school, and was admitted to the bar in New York City in 1863. For some reason he put aside his profession for a time and spent several months in Washington, where he served as law clerk in the office of his friend, Dr. John M. Brodhead, Second Comptroller of the Treasury. In the summer of 1870 he resigned and travelled in Europe until May, 1871. On returning to Washington he entered into the practice of his profession, and so continued until ill health compelled him to desist. In many ways he became interested in the business growth of the District ; banking, street railways, and land development were among his activities, and no man's honesty and reputation stood higher. Politics possessed an interest, especially those in New Hampshire, and his acquaint- ance among the public men of the State was wide and comprehen- sive. Socially Mr. Cummings was very popular, and his home in K Street was often the scene of gracious and unpretentious hospi- tality. To the visiting New Hampshire person Mr. Cummings was kindness itself, sparing nothing in the way of attention and enter- tainment. His love for Dartmouth was shown many years ago in preparing a history of his class, and a short time before his death he gave much time in arranging and writing a larger and more elabor- ate biography of his classmates, which was received with great favor. Surely New Hampshire has lost in the death of Horace S. Cummings a loyal, kindly son, and his many friends will mourn a staunch and generous comrade.

In 1863-6 he was assistant secretary and then secretary of the New Hampshire senate. He was an Exeter representative in 1876-7. In 1877 he was a colonel on the staiF of Governor Cheney.

He married, October 15, 1874, Jeannette E. Irvin at Pittsburgh, Pa., who survives him.

AN APPEAL

The New England Historic Genealogical Society, of Boston, Massachusetts, founded in 1844 and the oldest societ}' of its kind in the United States, having the largest his- torical and genealogical library in this country and one which could never be replaced, has reached a crisis in its history ^calling for immediate action.

Its combustible building, an old dwelling-house remodelled many years ago, not only is inadequate to hold the priceless collections of books, pamphlets, manuscripts, and newspapers, *'some of which have already had to go into storage in an unused stable at the rear of the house, but has been condemned as unsafe to carry any further weight upon its floors and walls. This prevents any addition to the bookshelves, and necessitates that all meetings of members be held outside the Society's house.

A modern, fireproof building with metal fittings is needed at once, and this appeal is made to every person of New Eng- land ancestry, and others, for funds with which to erect it and carry on the valuable work of the Society. The Society owns land upon Beacon Hill, Boston, with an entrance to the same through a building which it has recently purchased in Ashburton Place. The land adjoins the Boston University School of Law and is situated near and midway between the State House and the new Court House. A suitable structure can be erected and equipped for about $100,000; and an ad- ditional permanent endowment of $50,000 will be required to meet increased expenses and for enlarging the field of publi- cation.

The Society's library has always been freely open to the public, is visited and consulted by people from all parts of the world, and is almost daily taxed to its full capacity. Member- ship includes both men and women.

Here is an opportunity for sons and daughters of New England, no matter where they live, to help in preserving and publishing the records of their sterling ancestors; and here is an excellent chance to give money as a memorial to some in- dividual or family, either towards the building or endowment, for a special room or alcove, or for equipment or publishing. Sums in any amount will be welcome, and should be sent to the Treasurer, Charles Know^les Bolton, 18 Somerset Street, Boston, who will answer any inquiry.
